5.9 Taxi members are obligated not to start moving until the client has entered the vehicle and until they have provided a final destination or a landmark (if the taxi driver has illegally parked the taxi, they may park legally in the nearest possible spot, but only after the client has entered) (sanction: Faction Warn).

5.10 You have the right to refuse a order if the location requested by the client is not listed as important locations on the forum, is not available on [/gps], the client does not provide a landmark or house/biz ID (for example, if they say they want to go to Verdant Meadows, you are not obligated to take them, but if they say they want to go to the deserted airport lv at the biz rent plane, you must take them) (sanction: Faction Warn).

5.11 The taxi driver is required to ask the client at least 3 times for the location (also in Romanian), if after these 3 questions (with at least 5 seconds between them, 15 seconds since the last one) the client does not say anything (a location), the taxi driver can use [/eject] (sanction: Faction Warn). You can write in the same sentence for example: RO: Unde vrei sa mergi? / EN: Where do you want to go?

they are AFK when the destination is reached.
they get into the taxi with a weapon in hand and shoot from the vehicle (H), after you have used [/eject] ask them to get back into the taxi without doing this again. If they refuse to get in or repeat this behavior, you can use [/eject] and take other orders (provide evidence of refusal or repeated violation).
they get into the taxi and the taxi driver already has another order accepted. It requires proof (SS) to demonstrate that you had an order at that time.
they get into the taxi as a second client and the first client says they are not together. It requires proof (SS) to demonstrate that they are not together.
they have wanted with surrender, are in the taxi, and are ordered by a police officer. You can stop the taxi in the nearest area, on the right side, and ask them to get out of the taxi (First time). If they refuse to get out, you can use [/eject]. Evidence (SS) is required to show that they refused to get out and that they were ordered.
they have wanted without surrender and you are ordered by the police (a single warning is sufficient), being obliged to eject them otherwise you risk being an accomplice.
they threaten to make a complaint (SS).
they refuse to get out of the taxi at the destination.
they get into the Taxi before the existing client in the car gets out and refuse to get out to get in again (obviously requires SS).

For all the above rules, you must have evidence (SS) to prove that you did not use [/eject] without reason, in case of a complaint (sanction: Faction Warn).

5.14 Do not accept to fulfill a request from the client to take them 1 km, drive them around, or perform a round trip order (example: "Take me 1 km to help me with a report; Take me to the PNS-back to CNN LS'' or similar cases). When faced with such a situation, explain to the client that the taxi is not for joyriding, then ask if they really need to be taken to an exact location (sanction: Faction Warn for the first offense, Dismissal for the next one).

5.15 If, upon reaching the destination, before the client exits, another potential client gets into the taxi, you are obliged to ask them to exit and re-enter the taxi, after the previous client has exited the taxi (the message appears indicating that they have exited and paid a sum of money) (sanction: Faction Warn).

5.16 When you are transporting multiple clients in the taxi (when there are several friends), and the second or third person to get in after the first person does not want to get off at the same location as the first person, you are obliged to ask them to get out of the taxi and get back in. If you leave them in the taxi without asking them to get back in, you will transport them for $0, which violates the rules.
