I personally enjoy being a honest taxi, so not all of us with cars are out to get you. Just most of us. It takes real dedication to your line of work to, in a video game like DayZ, find a car that seats 4+ and can reach higher speeds (On, and off road), simply to find people who want a lift, and bring them places, when the could easily kill you, take your car, and go it themselves, or just kill you for the fun of it. It actually kind of reminds me of a country in anarchy. Dangerous place to be a taxi. As for stories of bandits, I can give one about my first attempt at being a taxi cab. I was on a server where you start out with quite a bit of better stuff (military weapons, ghille suit, etc), that is rather populated with players, and the north is LITTERED with SUVs (A few people drive along the coast and pick up newly started hitchhikers). Anyways, I happened to find a Military Offroad on the side of the road near NWAF (Pristine condition, full tank of gas, had a DMR in the back), which I took simply so I wasn't like all the SUVs being driven around, and wasn't bad either. Well, I noticed someone was asking for a ride from a dirt road between Msta and Tulga. I said to myself, "Eh, I got nothing better to do." So I told him I was near NWAF, I was willing to pick him up, but he had to wait for a little bit. He marked his location on the map for me (Important detail), and I made my way down (Almost a straight shot for me via highway, plus roads are cleared of debris). I got onto his road after about 20-30 minutes, and I started driving slowly, blaring my horn. Well, I see a figure in a ghille suit stand up from a evergreen on the side of the road, and bam. Kicked off the server for high ping. I take another 10 mins or so to get back into the server, and I instantly hear gunfire, and suddenly, I'm shot, on the ground, unconscious, and bleeding fast. I realize it was the guy I came to pick up who shot me, and he realizes he just shot his cab driver, and he starts apologizing, saying he didn't realize it was me. I eventually get back up, and almost didn't make it to bandage myself (Took a DMR bullet to the knee). Well, suddenly I hear more gunfire, and my passenger is suddenly dead. I try to hide in the bush, but I get shot as well. It has turned out that the guy I went to pick up was waiting for me to return (rather than taking my vehicle and going), and was defending my car from a bandit who had come to the marked location on the map (He could have easily taken the car and drove away from the situation, or snuck away, but he didn't). After both of us died several times afterword (Him from bandits, myself from hitchhiking and the cars I was in getting into wrecks), we finally did meet up and walked north to find a car, where I died, and had to get off for the night. It goes to show, even in video games, people don't necessarily have to be cruel or vicious.
