I had just fallen asleep when I got treated to a crash of body clenching proportions outside my window . A taxi ran a stop sign at 40 mph out in front of a mercedes that was also likely speeding ( being a mercedes ) . Mercedes hits front corner of taxi , gets spun around , knocks taxi off course into nearest tree . They call it wrapping your car around a tree for a reason .
According to the above context, choose the best option to answer the following question.
Question: What may be the reason for the taxi running the stop sign ?
Options:
- None of the above choices .
 - They got paid extra to run it .
 - They were in a hurry .
 - They do n't know what stop signs are .
