i thought that was most definitly so until about a year ago. A cab hit me right up the arse at a turning near st. johns wood, totally his fault, folded my back wheel in two. I was completely still when it happened so i gave him some grief right there. He then pulled over, gave me his details, so i bought a new (substantially nicer) wheel and invoiced him for it. to much surprise he paid up and my thoughts of cuntish taxi drivers vannishd for a brief second (fuck i should have bought a more expensive wheeland srewed the fucker).
anyway thats all forgotten and i still hate taxi drivers for undertaking me at all opportunities, general cutting up and being too wide. though they're not as bad as the criminal mini cab drivers who have the 'booked by TFL' sticker on their back window who pretty much fuck off anything else on the road near them. mini cab on a power trip, bad idea.
(hope this is the correct thread for drunken rants)
