North Drinks. Every Week, Wednesday 6pm - The Maynard N8

Like Clara I didn't see the crash but the policeman was saying the cabbie claimed to have lost control of the cab during the exchange and that's why he hit JD. I tried to suggest to him that losing control of a cab travelling in a straight line at sub 20 mph shouldn't result in a swerve large enough to run over the bike beside it, which it shouldn't unless there's something seriously wrong with the cab, but he was not being particularly receptive. In fact I got the impression that the police made up their minds the second they turned up.

They had. The arresting officer was only interested in listening to the cabbie and the other older cabbie that started calling me a cunt. Must know me very well.
