Great I though as I pulled round him. Kind of felt guilty as there was a disabled person getting into the cab in an electric wheelchair using the ramp.<br /><br />As I drove down the Mound, another taxi pulled into the bike lane, well half way anyway as there was a van turning right and he stopped. There wasn't enough room for him to pass even in the bike lane. As I passed him on the inside he moved forwars and started cutting further into the bike lane, still couldn't get past but almost knocked me off my bike, he was inches from me. I pointed out the bike lane in no uncertain terms. He just drove on, as if nothing had happened when the van moved.<br /><br />Two run ins with taxis in a very short space, the first was excusable, the second wasn't, a driver who didn;t look in his mirrors.Johnhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11151302487769421822noreply@blogger.com
