Yesterday I learned that a taxi driver in London can go to jail if they forget ask their passengers if they have been infected by small pox or pest. I had to look it up, and it seems there's dispute over whether it is the passenger's duty to inform the driver or the driver's duty to inquiry... Either way, it seems like a very interesting penal code!

Hmm I've never been asked by a taxi driver if I have an infectious disease, including in taxis going to hospital.

Which is a shame as I have bubonic plague.
