The unnamed Chinese taxi driver has stunned pedestrians in Chengdu's steps. Damages during the ordeal include a broken registration plate and damaged stone stairs, but the driver seemed unfazed since he nonchalantly continued his driving.

In the video of the taxi driver, the bumper of the cab is even seen already hanging off the back of his car as he took the outdoor stairs at Sichuan Vocational College.

Apparently, the cabbie got lost in a university campus which is why he took the drive down the stairs. The drive took 50 steps to finish.

As the footage began, the cab's bumper is already hanging off the car's rear. As of the moment it remains unclear as to why the cabbie took the steps, but according to The Daily Mail, local reports say the driver had gotten lost and was alreayd too lazy to find his way back.

On Chinese social media, the driver has already been nicknamed the "wayward taxi driver," according to UPI.

The passers-by tried to plead for the driver to go back. Students at the vocational institution told him to wait for a tow truck driver, but the man was insistent on getting out of the place and he went on driving down the stairs till he reached bottom.

In the video of the wayward taxi driver, students are seen stunned at the bottom of the stairs, fortunately not too stunned as they were still able to move as the car approached.

By-standers took photos of the incident and shared them on social media, showing five flights of stairs, with each having 10 steps.

The car's registration plate came off and the car's plate is now in the management office of the local property, reported China Daily.

On Weibo, China's equivalent to Twitter, Chinese social media users were left bewildered by the occurrence. One even joked that the man had spent too much time watching "Fast and Furious" films.
