How is it, that people that log a couple hundred thousand KMS a year behind the wheel of an automobile, are some of the worst drivers on the road?

As with most things, it's all about the financial incentives of the job. If a job rewards high-quality work, those who do high-quality work will be the most successful. If a job rewards speed above all else, those who do the job quickly will be the most successful.
For cab drivers, their pay is based on distance travelled, not on the time a trip takes or customer satisfaction. If driving recklessly will allow you to take a couple more fares per shift, that's the incentive.
Also, with things like a carpenter or chef, you have some choice. You can shop around, look at previous work, read reviews or listen to testimonials. You also have a choice of cheaper, faster, lower quality or better quality, but slower and more expensive.
On the other hand, a cab is a cab. You get in the first one to show up. Repeat business isn't really a concern and as long as you get to your destination without incident, you're not going to complain.
