The taxi drivers in GTA IV are even ruder and more ill-tempered. Most of the cabbies are Greek, as indicated by the "Malaka!" or "Stupid Malaka!" insult they shout when you crash into them (Greek term for "wanker"). Occasionally, following a traffic accident, they will exit their cab and attempt to pull you out of your car and start a fight. If this occurs when a police officer is nearby, or if they are near a [[Police Cruiser]], they will take immediate action, arresting the driver and taking them away. | The taxi drivers in GTA IV are even ruder and more ill-tempered.
