Deffo. But the way I look at is that as taxi drivers, like all people who drive for a living, their livelihood depends on the rules of their profession. Those rules happen to incorporate the highway code. Tough. If I ignored the fundamental tenets of my industry, I would expect to lose my job. I'm not sure how and why they are able to get away with it on a regular basis.
I too have started to notice a shift in driver behaviour - people trying to overtake me when cornering - that is really starting to piss me off.
off point but i completely agree. their trade faces ever rising taxation and regulation and they are always "hard done by", this increase is experienced by all car owners which gives them an excuse to act as they do.

i had a woman step out on me, past my line then step back last minute, my decision to aim at her and hers to step back meant all she got was a "tap" and i got off fine. if we chosen the opposite the article would have contain a few more "*"'s in the qoute
