He was a Hit and Run Hugger

As he crossed the street he did not notice the taxi that was zooming toward the intersection. Perhaps the taxi driver was distracted by the pretty girl in the back of his cab but he failed to notice the red light and ran it, hitting the man crossing the street. There was a slight thump as the taxi winged the man’s right leg but he remained upright and although he would have a nasty bruise he was uninjured. The taxi screeched to a halt, the driver jumped out ran toward the man and screamed, “Are you hurt?” The man shook his head no and then as if possessed the taxi driver reached out and hugged the man. He released him as quickly as he had hugged him and ran back to his cab, screeching as he fled the scene.

The driver was glad that the man was ok. Hence the hug!

As long as he did not say things lile "Tag ! You're IT" that is not too excentric...

Funny. Not any cabbie I've ever known. I do like Spacedlaw's comment.

Hugging is nice and should be done at all times- not just when you hit someone with your taxi!
Great little story!
