Richard Hammond from Top Gear learning how to drive a yellow cab in NYC from myself
Filmed 20 hours this week with Richard Hammond from Top Gear, who has a show on BBC America called Crash Course. I tried to teach him how to be a yellow taxi driver. The show will air in Oct. Had a great time, but more on that in Oct.
I’ll certainly wait for this episode! Being a taxi driver is hard work. First off, you need to know about the different routes and places. Second, you should also possess remarkable skills in driving. Plus the patience! Anyway, who was your first driving teacher? =)
Great stuff! Can not wait to see the show!
