When a father was punching his son,in a taxi.

Quite a few years ago,about 1130 one Saturday night,this taxi driver picked up 4 men,they seamed ok,so off he went.He was driving a saloon Hackney taxi at the time,with one guy in the front & three guys in the back.He was travelling about 60mph,allong the A270 just before Hollingdean in Brighton.when one of the guys in the back seat started punching the guy in the front seat.He tried to hit back,then a second guy in the back joined in,there were fists flying everywhere,how he did not get punched he will never know.He said, come on guys stop or we could all end up being killed if you hit me.They said shut up & just drive,he started to slow the car,as he was getting close to where they wanted to get off.He stopped at the side of the road,they only had to walk across the park to their street.They gave him an extra £10 more than the meter fare & said sorry it got out of hand.As they walked off,he heard the guy who was in the front seat,say Dad! why did you start punching me in the taxi?It had been the father who started it all off.He was glad to get away from them in one piece.It only lasted about 3 minutes,but it sure got his adrenalin rushing,he said.
