I live in lower Manhattan now, and my unconscious mental model for navigating the streets as a ped/biker includes a pretty large coefficient on is_yellowcab. They're complete menaces.
Yep, I think this is universal. I was in China a few years ago and the dude was playing tetris with one hand on his cell phone and driving in the emergency lane at the same time.
Uber/Lyft/Didi/Ola is amazing. I really don't give a shit about these asshole taxi drivers and their union/monopoly grip. Glad it is wiped out.
