I concur they do. I had one do a multi point turn in the middle of rush hour, block the road and when I questioned it he took a dislike and was a foot from my rear tyre for 100 yards lol.. Should have braked really and sued his sorry ass.

It is funny how he gets knocked down outside St James' and they take him to the LGI.

For those not from Leeds - the LGI is the other side of the city centre!!

Daft I know, hundreds of yards if that outside St. James and driven across Leeds.
EDIT: The wife (who is a nurse @ St. James) has told me its because the head and spinal units are still at LGI and not moved over.

Not good but I'm also not surprised.
Commuting through Leeds in recent weeks I've seen numerous taxi's running lights as they turn to red and poor turns. And yes, too many cyclists doing the same.

Black and white taxi - why am I not in the least surprised. And the council has now allowed these neanderthals into the bus/cycle lanes on all the main arterial routes in the city.
Good wishes for the guy.

Always remember when I 1st moved to Leeds many, many years ago. Had lived there just about a year but knew my way around pretty well. Still had my original "non Yorkshire" accent. Had been away on a works trip. Got back to the railway station and caught a "Black and White". He proceeded to try to take me to Morley via Kirkstall Lane!!! Got a "Where the hell do you think you're going" from me as I told him the exact route he should be taking. Have never caught a black and white since!
