I think this is a good thing, especially if after an incident we can request the footage!

About time

Hope London black cabs get them which will record them cutting up cyclists with deliberate close overtakes and being abusive.

I wonder if the black cabby this morning had one fitted. I had stopped my bike two spaces behind him and we both pulled out at the same time, I waved him on knowing I was heading up a steep hill and would hold him up, he just gave me a friendly after you guesture :?:

 

[Crackle]

Will we see the cab driver shake his head?

Yeah, it a conspiracy....

I think they might get a camera but I cannot see them having a microphone attached. Imagine having to listen the BNP/Daily Mail styled diatribe when reviewing the footage.

We've had some in southampton for a couple of years after some nasty robberies. The cab says "CCTV" in black and yellow on the side. I think they're a great idea and I've said to non-cabbies perhaps they should look into it for insurance purposes.

double yawn. Black cabs are total scum as far as I'm concerned and I have reached that conclusion from nasty experiences with them.

yawn again, numpty

I think that's a bigoted and generalistic view. Sure, there are some scum taxi drivers out there, but most are far better than car drivers.

 

[LOGAN 5]

Then that's your bigotted and generalistic view. Your statement is meaningless. In my opinion they're far worse than car drivers and many times worse than bus drivers.

 

[BentMikey]

No, you prejudge them as scum right from the off. The difference is that I'm willing to see what each taxi driver is like first, I'm more open to the positives, and I treat them fairly.

Wrong. There are good and bad drivers, good and bad cyclists, good and bad taxi drivers etc. Cyclists get generalised about a lot. Do you agree with these type of comments?
