Had an awesome encounter with a black cab driver today. Was riding along the Kings Road eastbound and was overtaking the traffic on the outside. Cab coming out from a side road to my right, who wishes to turn right onto the Kings Road. The traffic is bumper to bumper and stationary. He sees me and snarls and starts to pull out. I have no inclination to slow or stop for him and shake my head. He looks furious and decides to pull right across the road to close the gap to halt my progress. But the fucking idiot misjudges the gap between his bonnet and the line of stationary traffic, so he scrapes along the side of a car as he t bones it at walking pace.
He then goes mental and tries to blame me for his error.
Tl;dr - cabbie tried to block my progress but instead wrote off the side of someone's car.
