Illegal taxi driver high on zombie vapes while picking up passengers
2026-11-02
Imagine getting into a car, only to realize the driver is so high on drugs he can barely hold his phone steady! That’s exactly what happened to a passenger in Kaohsiung, who had called an unlicensed ride and quickly noticed the driver’s hands shaking uncontrollably. The passenger quickly called the police, who discovered that the drier was under the influence of zombie vape drugs.
The passenger was telling the driver his destination, when he realized the driver’s hands were so shaky that he could barely hold his phone.
In a sudden rage, the passenger told the driver to get out of the car, and called the police.
The incident happened in Kaohsiung’s Zuoying District. The driver was 23-year-old Mr. Ting, who was caught drugged behind the wheel by his passengers in an unlicensed car. When police arrived, the driver handed them an etomidate cartridge, colloquially known as zombie vape juice. A blood test later turned out positive for the drug.

The case was referred to the Ciaotou District Prosecutors Office for investigation on suspicion of endangering public safety and violating the Narcotics Hazard Prevention Act. The driver faces a NT$150,000 fine for drug-impaired driving. The vehicle was immediately impounded and confiscated, while the driver’s license was revoked and the vehicle’s license plates were confiscated.
The passenger barely avoided a trip with a drugged driver and posted about the incident online.
Member of public
Would see red flag
If his hands were shaking like that, I’d be concerned about it affecting the driving. I would keep a close eye.
Member of public
Would call police
I’d probably say, sorry and ask him to drop me off there and then. I’d call the police.
Zombie vape incidents have captured headlines in recent months. This time, the protagonist was an illegal cabbie who even tried to pick up passengers. Fortunately, the passenger quickly realized something was wrong and called the police to intervene and avoid a potentially disastrous outcome.
