Re: report a black cab? - Rebuilt - 30-01-13
I cant say much bout the legality of it all but taxi drivers think they own the road in my experience ...when they clearly should realise bikers do 8)
Must admit the comments on the recording made me laugh :rollin

+1 on taxi drivers owning the road. Normally a law unto themselves IME. Come down hard on the bad ones as often as you can and reprt em, got nothing to lose if you ask me. The video footage can't realistically drop you in any trouble. Not enough evidence.

Yeah, I am known for my out bursts when people piss me off.
Take a gander at this. Don't judge me on the second one, It was a bit of 50/50 as I should of gunned it
I get angry easily
Re: report a black cab? - caretaker - 30-01-13
is it me, or are bikers going soft? in all 3 videos i saw nothing more than i see when i'm riding around. No1, taxi clip is nothing more than a typical taxi driver. it wasnt done maliciously, just an impatient guy. no 2 and no 3 clips is what i expect drivers to do. they do it all the time, get used to it. thats why i ride defensively. i try and predict what drivers will do. i have never had a serious accident, i've never had a near-death experience (but watch this space!), i dont hang around so i'm not a plodder.

But it's not a solid double white line, nor is there a solid white line around the chevron box, so it's not actually illegal.

I just played the last video clip, and my teenage daughter was watching over my shoulder. She's not known for her temper restraint. Even she said "he needs a chill pill" :lol :lol :lol

Without trying to judge your riding too harshly (we've all been there after all) - if you don't calm down your ire is going to force you into a situation where you will come off worse, even though technically you may be in the right.
Just a thought.
"What's that all about - you cock end" <- did make me laugh

Just let it go. Dont get wound up. Focus on riding more defensively. Keep your speed down. Chill.
After 100s of 1000s of pointless biking miles I follow the above 'rules'. Even still I get gravel rash when some arsehole cuts me up and I lose. Save your video footage for when it matters.
Btw Lewis what camera do you use, I really want to get one?
