Got Undertaken today

This morning I was riding along a single carriage road, but with a hard shoulder on the way to placement. Just about to filter with a motorway off ramp coming in on the right so slowing slightly and checking that shoulder and a Taxi (Peugeot van type things) nearly takes off my left shoulder.

Get to lights about 50 yards down the road and the driver has a go at me for riding in the middle of a road. He didnt take kindly to me pointing out that it was with the intention of stopping people doing stupid overtakes on a particularly dangerous piece of road with lots of cars filtering in and changing lanes and you have to have your wits about you.

So mad I didnt call his cab company or the police.

Just to show that not all taxi drivers are such as this, I pulled up at a junction last week, taxi pulled up, window, "here I go" me thinks...... but no, "nice to see someone with some decent lights"

Call the cab company, report it to the cops and log it on the CTC website. Drivers like this need an official warning to realise that they're a danger.

Definitely worth calling the taxi company, i reckon. it shouldn't go unreported.
