Or did someone take a contract out? Or am I just paranoid?
Not one but two taxis nearly got me last night.
1) I am on a roundabout heading straight on in the middle of the left hand lane of two. Taxi comes onto the roundabout from the entrance to my left without slowing or stopping. If I had not been looking down the road for someone doing this he would have got me. Didn't see me even after I shouted and when my lights were lighting up the car.
2)two lane one way street. heading for a fork. I want the right hand fork so am in the middle of the right hand lane only 50 m from the fork. Taxi comes up on my left and turns right pushing me into the kerb. No indicators. Looked straight at me and forced his way in. Pushing me towards the right hand kerb.
Both times I was in the right position on the road I believe, I have a steady and a flashing light front and rear, reflective stuff all over the bike.
grrrr.
The second one might be on CCTV so the cops are checking it out. if they got him he is going down!
Be careful out there - the b's are out to get you
