Meet New York City’s Safest Yellow Taxi Driver

ANDREW TANGEL



A New York City yellow taxi driver who was crowned the city’s safest cabbie listens to soothing jazz as he dodges pedestrians, cyclists and other cars.

“I try to relax,” said Fred Amoafo, 46-year-old. “You get there when you get there – don’t force yourself. That is the key.”

Mr. Amoafo, who lives in Queens, found himself ranked highest among his peers on Tuesday for driving the longest distance without injuring passengers in crashes, and without incurring the wrath of authorities.
