Yes, this is true, we should always give courtesy every time. We must give our courtesy to taxi drivers especially when it's moving. An angry driver may disturb traffic in the road. A lot of people are riding cabs to be from one place to another so it means they are important to us. However, if a driver did start to be uncourteous to people that is another situation.
