Photo of the day - Speedy ride in Barbados

Today's Photo of the Day is called "Speedy", taken in Bridgetown, Barbados by Flickr user EagleClaw. I can only assume he means the name to be ironic, as this is the most laid-back driver I've seen in awhile, and it looks to be anything but a speedy ride. Perhaps I'm too used to the mean streets of New York and Istanbul, where taxi drivers can and will mow you down if you aren't careful when you cross the street. However, looking at this photo instantly relaxes me; even without seeing a beach or water, I'm suddenly on island time.

Have any photos of ultra-relaxed (or homicidal) taxi drivers from around the world? Add them to the Gadling Flickr pool and we may use it for a future Photo of the Day.
