Speed factor Why does a given speed feel faster in a taxi than in a normal car? We were just doing 70 heading out of the San Francisco airport but it felt like 90. I kept glancing at the dashboard in disbelief. Taxi factor: +20 mph.

Serious answer?
I think it has to do with trusting the driver. In any car where I don't trust the driver the speed seems MUCH faster.
And the liklihood of death seems a lot greater as well.
Or were you not looking for the serious answer? :)

That's a good answer!
Never trust a taxi-driver. Apart from Des from Parkland Cars, Leamington, England.
