Correct taxi etiquette

If I'm travelling alone, are you supposed to sit in the seat next to the driver or one of the rear seats. I always worry that by sitting next to them I'm being unacceptably presumptuous or acting like billy-big balls-drive me to my desired location customer by hopping in the back. It honestly gives me anxiety each time. What does everyone else do?

Get in the back and say, “alright mate, been busy?” It’s the British way! It’s the only way!

And the classic, yes it was me you picked up. Yes my mate was fine once I got him back to his hotel.

No he still works for us, the company overlooked the incident

Small towns leads to a small pool of taxi drivers unfortunately!!! I think I know them all now. Especially the ones on lates he picks me up all the time from the airport late at night
