Last night I finished my holiday and got off the train. It was middle night just then and there was few people in the street. I had to take a taxi home. The driver was a 40-year-old guy . I had been very carefully to alert all thing around me in dark. So I kept silent in all most time, though the driver asked me so many questions. It was five minutes' drive from station to my home. His words became more and more lousy and one his hand wanted to touch my leg. I was so feard that I beat it strongly and said " you must be on your good behavior, otherwise I wouldn't be polite to you." I knew there was a knife in my pocket, which was used to cut apples when I was in the train. In fact I kept it in the pocket meaningly to protect myself in case of coming across the accident. The driver was so shocked and said " don't take it serious too much". It was the time to arrived at my home and I got off quickly.
Although everything has gone, I can't calm down till now. I feel lousy when I recall it. I hope them, just like the driver, disappear in the world forever. I suggest all single girl had better walk in a group and also must alert all of the things.
My dear friends! Do you have any advice for me for it? Thank you at advance.

The driver's behaviour was bad; he has no right to touch your leg or make suggestive remarks to you.
*********like him always act innocent when they are challenged.
Taxis are usually licensed; you should report the driver to the licensing office.
I would suggest you get in the back of the taxi - especially at night when you are alone.

After the experience I was not happy for many days and thought much about it. You are all right according to the situation. It is better get in back of the taxi and keep the trademark in mind. In fact I have remembered the trademark and intended to proclaim in the relative web site to tell other girls not to take the taxi. But I haven't done it. May be I was a little worried about it. I think he will be cursed by his conscience one day.

Probably not, but it doesn't matter. He acted in an unprofessional way, and you handled yourself and the situation very well. You should feel proud.

Carry a can of mace, or if it's legal for you, go with a conceal carry (pistol).

And never be afraid to scream.
