France: Motorcycle Taxis Not Allowed To Use The Word Taxi Posted: 25 May 2011 05:00 AM PDT In the eternal struggle for world domination, or at least for the French roads, the car taxi companies have struck another blow against their motorcycle counterpart.... Some obscure French law defines the word "taxi" belonging to the four wheel vehicles, and therefore excludes motorcycles.
