Had a great 'oh shit' moment this morning, as I was cycling behind a taxi on a clear road the cabbie suddenly brakes for no discernible reason while drifting to the left directly into my path. I hit the brake and lock the back wheel into a skid for good measure but still had to stick out my left hand to stop me going into the rear windscreen as the front of my bike slammed into the cab, in the process my little finger was dislocated as my hand hit the back of the taxi.
As I came to a stop and realized my finger was fucked I look up to see the fucker pulling away without even checking the back of his cab (which had a nice dent from where the headset and bars hit it).....all I could do as I was popping my finger back into place was watch that fucker depart. Sadly amidst the painful haze and adrenaline I failed to note down his licence plate and taxi registration number. Needless to say my finger hurts like a bitch!
