TAXI DRIVERS
F*&$@^%$ HATE THEM.
In the last 3 days alone
Incident 1: Driving along behind a taxi approaching a round about, looked to my right and there was no traffic oncoming so I sped up a little bit. I look in front of me and IN THE MIDDLE OF THE FRICKING ROUNDABOUT the taxi stopped, I thought to myself, hmm maybe there is something wrong with his car...possibly? NO! he was stopping in the middle of the round-a-bout letting people OUT of his taxi. I beeped my horn and he shrugged his shoulders as if to say "what is your problem, im not doing anything wrong". To make things worse not 20m past the round-a-bout there were 4 car spaces.
Incident 2: Went to drive into my apartment car park. I indicated to turn in and saw a taxi across the whole driveway so i couldnt get in. I gave a friendly toot to make him move on or at least hurry up with no response. So the toots progressively turned into more aggressive beeps, and then into yelling out the window,and then cursing out the window and he just ignored me. After this went on for about 2mins I got out of my car and walked over to his window, the D*&$ was eating his lunch in my driveway and it was only when I tried to pull open his door that he threw his lunch onto the passenger seat and took off up the road.
Incident 3: I was driving the work ute down a street with LOTS of speed bumps and i had a taxi RIGHT up my ass because i did not smash over the humps. When I came to a red light the taxi pulled up next to me and tried to race me off the lights to cut me off. They do not have automatic right of way so i accelerated too and when he ran out of road due to parked cars he did not slow down and wait for traffic to pass he reefed his car into my lane JUST missing the back of the ute and pushing a boxter into the oncoming lane. lucky there was no traffic coming the other way.
Have I missed something or is there actually an entirely seperate set of road rules for cabbies?
