Hmm. The taxi driver couldn't have been planning to kill the man before he heard the destination, and the man didn't know he was going to be killed, so the destination must be somewhere important to the taxi driver specifically. How about this: The taxi driver knows/suspects his wife is having an affair with someone. This man enters the taxi and asks to be taken to, say, 123 main street. The taxi driver lives at 123 main street, though, so now he knows who's been fooling around with his wife, and enraged, he takes the man out to a deserted area and kills him.

Im asuming you mean die not drive, because what does driving have to do with it.
My guess is that he was on the phone, it was late at night so noone could see he was in there, some teenagers were throwing rocks at the phonebooth for fun, one of the rocks ended up hitting the phonebooth, smashed one of the windows, hit the man whose head hit and smashed the other window and the man fell to the ground (dead) the handset was left swinging because he didnt get the chance to hang up

He was on the phone, heard something he didnt want to hear, his wife died maybe, so in a fit of rage he smashed both the windows then killed himself.

He was on the phone, heard that someone close to him had died and in a fit of rage smashed the windows with his head, this knocked him unconscious.

I still think it has something to do with what he heard on the phone, did he hear something on the phone, kill himself because of it and the windows were already smashed?

Nope. There was nothing on the other line that would have killed him. In fact, you can call it an accident if you want.

He was outside the phone booth and it fell over ontop of him, leaving him inside on the ground.

While he was on the phone he tripped, becoming caught in the phoneline, in a desperate struggle to free himself, arms waving around, he smashed the windows (by accident) and before he could free himself he choked to death.

He was drunk or something like that, he crashed into the glass smashing it and splitting his head open, he then crashed into the other window before grabbing the phone and falling to the ground in a heap (dead)

Nope... Heres a few hints

The man isnt drunk
He was using the phone
Nothing on the other line made him angry
There is a reason why the glass was smashed
He has no disorder...
