Cab Licence Wanted: Hackney Cab C60 TXR

it's possible to able to kill someone without adding too much damage to the taxi, deliberately hitting someone is manslaughter when their life is on the line.

how can you avoid a vehicle who deliberately hit you??

okay i was going to leave this but i'm so confused by this post i'm afraid i'm going to have to respond. i really didn't want to get into an ill educated (on my part) argument about legal terminology or semantics but oh dear that's exactly what i seem to have done. anyway, i hope this clears things up a bit.

"it's possible to to able to kill [sic] someone without adding too much damage to the taxi"

• ummmm yes i'm sure it is. not sure what your point is here.
  
  

"deliberately hitting someone is manslaughter when their life is on the line" -

well, no it isn't. manslaughter is (and i think you'll find this is the ahem legal definition) "deliberately and very actually killing someone to death". attempting to deliberately very actually kill them to death might be attempted manslaughter but i don't think that's what happened here either.

all i was saying was that i agree that this guy is a danger and yes, might have even inadvertantly caused a death by his actions (thank goodness he didn't), but i don't believe that he set out to deliberately very actually kill anyone to death here. the cab in question didn't hit anyone and to be honest i think you'd have a very hard time attempting to prove he did anything deliberately... let alone tried to kill anyone. to death. on purpose.

from the sounds of it though he did deliberately try to scare just mouse... which as you rightly pointed out could have potentially become a fatal situation. but once again... manslaughter? don't think so dude.

so once more with bells on: i am not defending or condoning this tumbling, *tumbling *dickweed's actions or downplaying just mouse's situation. i am just being a petty little internet pedant because i am bored today.

and finally: "how can you avoid a vehicle who deliberately hit you?"

• i agree that you can't avoid a vehicle that has hit you (deliberately or not) unless you have some sort of time machine i suppose. are you referring to what i said about avoiding being forced over? i believe all i said was that i get deliberately forced to take avoiding action all the time (as we all do) and that if i didn't i'd have been hit and potentially killed.
  
  

we clear? we cool? really don't mean to antagonise. i just got the impresison that you might have misread my earlier postings.

love and hugs
