My 1st point is that her condition is irrelevent. She has no more rights than any other fare or even the driver.
Of course it relevent, in terms of what has happened after the event.
In the same way it's a lot worse speeding and hitting a child, as opposed to hitting a fly.
Did the driver accused want the women to die? Of course not. But I bet you anything you wish, that if a similar situation arose tommorrow, then both he and his colleagues would pick the customer up.
So by your logic it would be ok to hit an old person cause they would die soon anyway !!!!
No, in a similar situation the driver would not stop, he would drive on by, or make up some excuse not to take the w/c.
The law is stupid, it is very difficult to enforce and has the opposite effect to what they want to achieve.
The driver in this case was an idiot, he handled the situation badly, he didnt have the brains or could not be bothered to come up with an excuse to cover not taking the w/c.
Yours is typical knee-jerk reaction, you are as thoughtless and stupid as the accused driver, and I bet you just as much that you have passed over a fare at some time.
Think of the damage done to the trade as a whole before you charge in with you condemnation of your colleagues.
