When a cabbie takes pasengers hostage and drives off crazy, so the passengers cannot flee the vehicle. Typically caused by a fare dispute or off-the-meter fares. Especially when ride is executed via roundabout routes. Especially when cabbie feels entitled to a surcharge or "tip" not entitled by law. Threats of wild rides are also used to coerce the hostages to pay up more than a customary tip. Also caused by fare-beating or where the passenger feels entitled to pay less than full fare, plus negotiated tip. Where the cabbie then feels entitled to make a "citizens arrest." And drives off crazy to "Go find a cop."
