A taxi driver acted in a psychotic manor toward me. Cannon St -> Tooly street

Just bought this:

Not great quality image unless in good light but I reckon it could be fun when I tape it to my stem.
It's a bit smaller than my thumb.

Seems there's a few 'cunting taxi driver' type threads, so I chose this one

CUNT, fuckin, wanking shitbag this morning...

I was bombing it up the cycle path/crossing from Waterloo Bridge/Strand this morning up towards Cov/Gard when some tit taxi driver pulled out from the right, straight across and cut me up pushing my right up to the curb. Managed to catch up and pull along the passenger side to him to which I aksed
"What the fuck are you doing you stupid cunt, you nearly knocked me off?"
"I didn't see you"(course he fuckin did, that's why he did it)
"Well you shouldn't be on the road then" was my reply, to which I got a "fuck off"

He tried to drive off - oh no you don't, prick

I threw my bike on the floor and opened up the passenger door and got in his cab. The mist drew over me but the sensible side of me thought 'hang on, I'm not spending a day in the cells for this cunt' so I grabbed the first thing I could see in his cab and threw it at him - an empty polystyrene cup of coffee!(Ha, I'm well hard me!?!)
With this he started gettin his mobile out - "Right, I'm calling the old bill" he said

I thought fuck this, got out, slammed his door and told him to "Go and take your fuckin test again you cunt!"

He drove off. Plate V393 ***

CUNT!

And breath.....

I know how dancing james feels now ;-)

and I thought I was having a bad day when some white van man tried to spray me with the windscreen wipers (he missed) after I flipped him off this morning ... :s

so all he did was cut you up then G?
that reaction was entirely unwarranted, and stupid.
probably going to take it out on the next cyclist he sees.
great work.

this is London, my friend, and all that.

Except his recent blog about how he hates football and hopes England are knocked out as early as possible. I know he plays a character, and he's entitled to his opinion, but seriously, FUCKING YAWN, Brooker. How predictable. You could set your watch by Brooker's anti-footy blogs. Like every two years. Lost all respect for him when I realised a) he can't do improv/reaction comedy for shit, and b) everything he says is written by a team of talented writers

He should have charged you the minimum fare for getting in his cab, G

Depends how an independent witness would've seen it - 'just' cut me up or deliberately drive at me forcing me to stop and take refuge on the curb.
Only a wanker would drive like that:
a) he admitted he didn't see me(which I believe to be bollocks)
b) No apology to his above admission

Anyway, I'm perfectly entitled to ask him what the fuck he was trying to do when the cunt was inches away from knocking me off - on purpose(I believe)

that first part- asking him, even screaming: 'What the living fuck were you thinking you quasi-neanderthal throwback?'- is fine, getting in the cab is the dumb part.

regardless of intent, London is full of complete cuntios drivers.
if its a cab, grab their license number off the back of the cab, and report.

Like I said, the mist drew over me and when some cunt that has just blatantly driven at me tells me to fuck off - he ain't gonna get away with it without atleast feeling my wrath!

Anyway, just had a coffee, fine now

I lol'd.

i think camomile tea would have been a better choice.

Anyone ever reported a cabbie? Seen any consequences?

Next time a cabbie pisses me off I might just make it obvious I'm taking his number. Maybe show it to him. Maybe Tattoo it on his chest along with "I am a sadistic pig"

I was out for a ride on saturday.

Cab swerves into bike lane and blocks it

I tappe on his window, he went nuts, screaming and shouting, eventually he threw his coffee at me.

My cycling companion is not a member on Lfgss but does lurk.

He was amazed at the way I just seem to attract such cunts on the road. He had been suspicious but then saw the entire incident. Peter has reported the incident to the police and I will bendoing likewise.

He sounds like he deserved it

He tried to drive off - oh no you don't, prick

I wish i had the balls to do this...

you should have thrown your bike in the cab...then got in.

Cabbie would have to charge him for the bike as well then.

had this happen to me this morning whilst going at speed south down towards Hype Park Corner from Marble Arch. Cycling in bus lane, cab sees a potential fare at the side of the ride, overtakes me and cuts me up without indicating to get his fare. I took evasive action to avoid his dangerous and careless manouvre and because i was paying attention didnt crash.

couldnt be bothered to say anything at the time but feel that Pistanator's action whilst not exactly constructive was fair enough.

Pistanator, you're my hero!

DJ, it's because you wear flat caps and neckerchiefs :)

I once got into one with a cabbie in a similar situation, intentional drift > kerb-squishery. Afterwards I kept wishing I'd vommed on his lap (I used to be a bit of a habitual puker and can make myself sick really easily).

That stretch of road (off the strand via the cyclepath and up towards Covt Garden) seems to encourage bad driving. I think because it's a dead end (for cars), taxis coming out of that junction on the right don't think they have to look left to see if anythings coming.

Yeah it's a bloody horrible stretch if you're travelling south too, as the slope makes you go fast and there are always cabbies swinging around everywhere and not bloody looking.

+1

Dopey peds seem to enjoy walking across too then kicking off at cyclists even when we have a green light. Use your eyes tits

Aw c'mon that crossover bit has got to be the worst bit of cyclepath design around, you have to give the peds some leeway there.

Why?
There's two lanes with big white bikes painted on the floor and if that isn't enough there's a set of traffic lights which flashes with a green bike. Just incase there was any doubt what that cycle path is for underneath your feet
