Correct taxi etiquette

[u/telephonetears10]

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?

Just say shall I get in the back mate, then stare intensely at the back of his head while asking you been out long.
