Taxi drivers...

Cunts?

Yes. Yes, they are.

He then drove off but was traced after another driver noted his registration.
At least they caught this one.

Re: Taxi drivers...

that's really close to where I live too.

I'll be honest, I passionately hate cyclists (having seen one skip a red light, try to turn right but fail, hold up a queue of traffic, then give the finger to the guy who tooted his horn at him, all on the way to work today), but that's well out of order.

Aye, cyclists are a pain in the arse, but they aren't anywhere near as dangerous, aggressive and antagonistic as taxi drivers.

Re: Taxi drivers...

I do hate taxi drivers also.

Particularly that thing they all do at red lights, the thing where they inch forward, bit by bit, inch by inch, till only the tiniest fraction of the back wheel is resting on the line, then wait till it's green. What's the fucking point, if you want to be a wank and run the red light, just do it, so I can call you cunt.

For every "decent" one out there, there are twenty arseholes slamming their brakes on, cutting corners, going through red lights and running over cyclists after hitting them once already.

Re: Taxi drivers...

There are 20 taxi drivers out there running over cyclists?
You're right, it's an epidemic.

Although, come to think of it...How many cyclists, skip red lights?
Cut corners?
Jump kerbs?
Don't wear enough Hi-Vis clothing?
Don't signal properly?
Run over pedestrians?

I was merely using the example from the thread.

I agree that cyclists are also idiots, but as I said above, they aren't anywhere near as dangerous, aggressive and antagonistic as taxi drivers.

I got in a taxi once & he spent the whole journey telling me about how he loves splashing people with puddles & especially girls who are all done up with fake tan on.

For the record, the only thing that irks me about cabbies (which I see them do regularly) is pull in without indicating..
