Taxi driver Yasar Aziz, affectionately known as Disco Dave, has left no stone unturned in divulging the tumultuous life of a hard-working cabbie.
From the “no-go” areas, the best petrol stations for a toilet break, cleaning up vomit from drunk passengers, educating racists and revealing where drivers meet-up during the quiet times of a shift.
5pm - beginning of the shift He generally sets off in his car at about 5pmto travel to Leeds. He’ll set off about an hour earlier if there’s been a Leeds United match occurring as it will be a lot busier. Educating racists Dave said: “You get a few racists. They tell you to ‘go back’, I’ve had a few call me a terrorist. Some do it about your religion, some do it about grooming gangs, they come out with all that stuff. It winds me up but I answer them back. A lot of drivers don’t, they’re nervous.”
There’s one area in Leeds which he actively avoids, where “kids throw stones” at taxis. Dave has said Halton Moor, a council estate in East Leeds, is a no-go area. “With a lot of petrol stations, you have to ask them if you can use the toilet. Sometimes at petrol stations, they can be in a bit of a mood as well and I can’t be arsed with them.
