This scenario exemplifies the self-serving attribution bias, where individuals tend to attribute their successes to internal factors (such as their own abilities) and their failures to external factors (such as the situation or other people's actions). In this case, the cab driver is blaming the accident on the other person's carelessness instead of taking responsibility for his own actions.
