Video: Taxi driver runs into pro cyclist then apologises

I would definitely have reported that taxi driver. Would be a nice excuse for a new rear wheel too courtesy of his insurance, maybe even a new frame if carbon fibre. 

The only motorist I particularly dislike is the taxi driver, and videos like this just prove my stereotyping.

I'm a Bath cyclist and you need to have your wits about you; narrow streets and busy, aggressive traffic.  Usual local government procrastination and endless debate means nothing gets done to sort it out.  Shouldn't be like that as it's a stunning place to ride around on a bike.  Not surprised it was a cabbie; they're up there with the Royal Mail van drivers!

Report a crime via the Avon & Somerset web site: https://www.avonandsomerset.police.uk/contact-us/report-a-crime-or-incid...

If enouth people report the incident they can't ignore it, or face the accusation of turning a blind eye to dangerous behaviour (which the police admitedly have been doing for years).

Why is nutter allowed to drive dangerous motorized vehicle let alone having it as a job?

Lycra tights.. gotta be a girl. Quite a few of my slighter cycling buddies have had wolf whistles from instantly embarassed WVMs.

Why do the twitterers think he's a she ?

Assault with a deadly weapon, premeditated?

We can dream....

Going to struggle to defend dangerous driving there. Shouting 'move or I'll run you over' then running into him before any chance to move.

Oh wait, it's a guy on a bike. Nothing to see here.

That driver deserves to have been dragged out of that car through the fecking windscreen. Fat, useless twat.

I'd imagine it ended amicably when the driver knew he was on camera.

I know this part of Bath quite well and have ridden through it many times. Traffic typically moves at 5 MPH, it's a busy little junction with traffic lights and pedestrian crossings 50 yards either side. Fuck knows how the driver got himself into a situation where he thought it sensible to ram the bike with his car but it does show the mindset of some folks. He shouldn't be allowed to drive.

I 100% promise that it wouldn't have ended amicably if he had done that to me. Hats off for keeping his cool.
