Corrected entry: It gives a very human touch, but it is hard to imagine that a licensed NY taxi driver wouldn't know how to drive or wouldn't know his way around the city at least a bit, even if he were of German origin and on his first day of work.

Correction: You obviously have never ridden in a New York cab. If you happen to get a driver who 1) speaks English and 2) knows his way around properly, you can count yourself lucky. It is absolutely terrifying the sort of people they let loose in a Yellow Cab without any kind of credentials whatsoever.
