Michael Winner is upset... and confused.

Why? How?

also he looks like he just did a dump in his trousers and didn't tell anyone yet.

or he has just sat on something pointy

he just realised who he is!

Got this reply... looks like you need to go to the coppers.. now I know why I never bother reporting anything. :S

*Thank you for your email dated 6 September 2007.

The Public Carriage Office has no legislative power to investigate road traffic offences committed by cab drivers. I can only advise you that if you have a complaint about the driving behaviour of a cab driver you must report the matter in person to the nearest police station.

Whilst I recognise that the police have many responsibilities placed upon them, the fact remains that they are the only authority that can investigate the road traffic offences that you describe. In any event that action is taken, for example by way of a conviction this will result in the taxi driver’s fitness to remain licensed being reviewed by the Licensing Authority.*

Expected outcome = 0

Shame

what is the point of the office then?

The role of the Public Carriage Office (PCO) includes the licensing of private hire services, following to the introduction of the Private Hire Vehicles (London) Act 1998.

if they grant licenses, can they not revoke them as well?

I just had some fun- giving an accident report statement for when a car hit some other cyclist i was following.

She might be on the forum- sounded aussie/ NZ, got hit by a silver volvo- I think it was a white bike... Knightsbridge/Sloane St.
Anyone?

why were you following her?

you need to stop doing that.

nah just riding home, slowly, on my MTB.
Also she left in an ambulance so i was wondering if she was ok?

Riding home last night there was some shouting between some blokes on a corner and blokes in a car..
More shouting..
Lights change car can't go anywhere coz Euston Rd. is rammed..
Guys from corner run over and guys in car get out..
FIGHT!!
I ride past - looks like a mini football riot..
Smash! One of the guy's has a bottle or glass smashed over his head.. bleeding forehead.
I love commuting.

htay, if only you were there when i crashed into a cab (his fault). I can not claim any insurance money without a witness. His word against mine.

cunts, aren't they.
I had a crash like that in oxford- no one around, my word against some random driver who just pissed off.
Fucked my frame, not me though (luckily)
Oh and 0 insurance dineros from it

Get their license plate number.. look them up.. find where they live.. exact justice.

i was in a heap. and no helmet, but i didn't even get more than a bruise, so no cool scars.
which is lame

:)

i didn't really mind that he didn't indicate, but i did mind that he came up to me after and started getting lippy. If he had apoligised and said i'm really sorry, i would have been content - not bothered trying to get insurance money.
