Black Cabs Up in Arms

Maybe I'm in a bad mood with taxis after watching one trying to knock a cyclist off the road this morning, screaming at him to 'get out of the middle of the road' (edited for obscenities). He (and I) were doing 40kph coming up to a traffic light at the time. The cab driver barged his way past only to immediately have to stop, so we could all have a good shout at each other.

Last time that happened to me the cab driver pointed out that his job was "To get people from A to B as fast as possible without killing anyone".

Very considered and professional attitude to his work, I thought.
