If you encounter a taxi driver that quotes you a price rather than use the meter, ask him to stop, get off and take another taxi.

I don't even get into a taxi until they've confirmed they're using the meter.
If people made enough noise about this issue, the authorities would have to clamp down on them -- they do anytime something threatens tourism. This does. These taxi guys are about the sleaziest scammers that tourists would come in contact with, and there's no way to avoid them. They dealt with this problem in Bangkok, setting up the official taxi stand. Even in HCMC they've clamped down on the pestering trinket sellers and cyclo drivers.
