Ipswich taxi driver fills the entire car, leaving no room for passengers.

IPSWICH — A local taxi firm has defended its 5-star punctuality rating despite a growing wave of customer complaints that the vehicle cannot physically accommodate passengers.
Gavin Broadbent, 22, an independent driver operating out of Suffolk, has become a viral sensation after commuters documented his daily rounds on the A14. Driving a modified, ultra-compact yellow hatchback, Mr. Broadbent has successfully optimised his business model by filling 100% of the vehicle’s available internal volume by himself.
“I pride myself on readiness,” Broadbent said, speaking from the driver’s seat, which has been structurally integrated into his lower back. “When a fare comes in on the app, I am already en route. The only minor hurdle is that upon arrival, the client realises there is nowhere to sit. But as I tell them, the meter is running, and I am technically at their service.”
A Tight Squeeze for Suffolk Transit
Eyewitness footage reveals that Broadbent operates the vehicle with the driver-side door entirely removed to allow for natural midsection overflow. His steering wheel serves dual purposes as both a directional control mechanism and a structural brace to keep him pinned inside the cabin.
Local transit regulators confirmed they are reviewing the case, though they admitted Broadbent is not technically violating any standard occupancy limits. “The logbook states the car is a four-seater,” a council spokesperson noted. “However, looking at the physics involved, Mr. Broadbent has effectively consolidated those four seats into one singular, high-density cockpit.”
Despite having a zero-passenger carriage rate this month, Broadbent remains highly optimistic about his business expansion. He is currently looking into switching to fast food delivery, which is, after all, more his area of expertise.
