What should I do if I suspect my taxi driver is taking me the wrong way?

I think it's important to challenge your taxi driver if you are concerned that they might be taking you the wrong way. Challenge them about which route they are taking. In most cases, it could be they either know a shortcut or they've actually got lost themselves, so they may able to reassure you early on. If you've got a concern about that, challenge the taxi driver about why they are taking you a certain way and hope you get the reassurance you need. If you have got a mobile phone on you and you are really concerned, I would suggest you phone someone up so the driver is aware that you are in communication with someone else. This again might provide you with some reassurance that they've made a mistake and there's nothing more innocent than that.
