Montreal’s taxi bureau is investigating what one man described as a “cab ride from hell.”

Etienne Bessette flagged a cab to take him home from Trudeau Airport. What followed was a terrifying ride on Highway 40.

As Bessette worked on his phone, he noticed the cab driver was no longer keeping up with traffic.

“I see the car in front of me move away, two car lengths, and we’re not moving,” he said. “I look up and I realized the driver is literally sleeping at the wheel.”

The passenger asked the cabbie if he was ok and after waking, the driver acted like nothing was going on. But as the ride continued, Bessette estimated the driver fell asleep at least another 10 times.

“I told myself, I have to take pictures of this, this isn’t right,” he said. “If he takes his foot off the brake, we start moving, we’re all in big trouble.”

Once the two-hour drive was finally over, Bessette took to Facebook and filed a complaint with the bureau. It’s unclear what sanctions, if any, the driver could face.

Bessette said he’s taken many cabs over the years and not all his experiences have been pleasant.

“I’ve been in cars where you could swear the axle on the back is going to fall off,” he said. “The brakes are screaming ‘Change me,’ the smell is frightening, like something died in there.”

Yet nothing compared to Tuesday’s terrifying ride.
