make sure you don't lose by that time the paper you noted this down :)
i understand that taxi drivers are annoying drivers (for me, at least because I travel - as a passenger - by scooter every day), but do they scam a lot?
Though if you ever come to visit Hungary, better be very-very careful... :/
