I had a bit of a run in with a taxi this morning. I was turning into a side road, and he pulled out and clipped my back wheel. I stopped and he rolled down his window and proceded to shout at me. I asked him to calm down and pull over so I could get his details in case there was any damage, and he refused. I stood in front of his car and calmly took his registration while he continued to scream and swear at me, at one point he got out and I thought I was going to get punched, but fortunately he thought better of it. I've looked into reporting him, but the PCO don't deal with traffic offences, they need to be reported to the police, and since I haven't got any witnesses I think I'd be wasting my time. I might still go the PCO route and report him for refusing to give me his details and threatening behaviour.
