Cycling home tonight, just after 4pm. Daylight, wearing bright orange jacket, riding down a small back street towards the main road junction.
Cars parked on both sides of the road effectively making it a single lane.
Me, heading around a right hand bend, taxi attempts an overtake only to see a car coming the other way. Taxi driver then throws his wheel hard over to the left, hitting me into the kerb – fortunately no parked car just there. Didn’t do me any damage, caught him at the lights & went mental (again), he tried to ‘explain’ he had to do it because of the other car, i was screaming about not passing, not using his bloody phone (in his hand) and asked him at length & at volume if he wanted to get out of his #£###*** car. He very quietly said no, he’s rather not get out of his car & looked rather shook up.
I have his reg no, his company number etc. Is it worth reporting considering no damage was done & its my word against his for the collision & phone use?
Rather proud of myself actually, had his door window in my hand & resisted the temptation to rip it out of the frame whilst kicking his door panel in – that’s a big step for me 😉
