Today was the first time I had to wake my taxi driver. He dozed off at a red light and didn't notice that the light had changed green. This is unusual as Bangkok cabbies are normally wired on energy drinks and/or caffeine. On the other hand, considering that most taxi drivers here work 12 hour shifts with few days off, it's amazing that it doesn't happen more often.
