very interesting read guys, I am genuinely mystified by the metamorphosis that overtakes many drivers. The idea that it's ok to lash out with a vehicle, and not be charged with attempted murder, seems strange. That said I can see the arguement re not antagonising other road users, especially those with the means to take you out. The old 'don't want to be right and dead' applies.

Personally I'd have taken secondary then moved out to primary nearer the pinchpoint. But then I'm not as experienced, confident and am guaranteed to be slower So, for my riding, I think that would have been correct. I do understand the criticism of hitting the car but I'm afraid my reaction may have been much worse. Maybe lack of experience again but the taxi driver would have sorely regretted stopping before my red mist departed.

Not sure on the trolling accusations, if it is, then it seems pretty tame. But then I'm pretty placid at a keyboard it's only behind the wheel of a car I become enraged

I don't.

Whatever situation he caused, he did not cause the actions of the driver. The driver did.

Your contradicting yourself
Of course he is totally blameless for the way people react.Its just coincidence
that he happens to be around when they close pass,sound their horns and threaten him

Yes. Its girth diameter would probably be quite large as it is a cartoon depiction of Carcharodon Carcharias, the Great White Shark.

And btw... the word is "you're" not "your"...
