LIGHTS OF CHINATOWN

I took this picture last week from the inside of the taxi on the way home through the Chinatown area of Bangkok. Every cab is supposed to carry an ID card of the driver, but quite often the pictures looks nothing like the driver. Apparently this is because more often than not it's the brother/uncle/father/son of the driver who is actually driving. Is this legal? I'm not sure.
I remember having a photography book once called 'Drive-by Shootings' where the photographer had shot all the pictures from inside a car or taxi cab. This image might be the first in my own series of such pictures.
