The responsibilities of a taxi driver

[subaqua]

all you needed to say was its ther N Wales coast. that covers every possible nutcase.I hated working in Rhyl , one of the worst places to work . Cefndy road depot.

Do you think it would be wise for me to approach some of the drivers and just have a nice talk with them about some of their concerns about cyclists (prodominantly me)? I would explain that I am not there to cause problems but to solve them.

no!

 

[PK99]

No.4 I do not antagonise other road users at all.

No.6 It has been months since I have had an altercation with a motorist. You can even check my YT account for that.

still you demonstrate remarkable lack of self knowledge or unseratanding that others might view your actions differently.

Did you google "Theory of mind" when i mentioned it recently

 

[PK99]

Who have I ever had a fight with? And what do you mean 'blasting my horn'? I use it when I need to and rarely do anymore.

.

Not true - your close pass videos show you Airzounding AFTER the car has passed you - seemingly to demonstrate your anger.

 

[BentMikey]

PK99, just drop it already right. It's getting tiresome now.

Must say I'm a little sceptical as to your credentials and intentions, bimblebee.

I'm not, but perhaps we'll see.
Welcome bimblebee, maybe Matt and yourself could become cycle buddies

I think we have seen Matthew mature as a cyclist and through this recent experience he will continue to do so. He deserves our support, as he has shown that a calm reserve gives him the upper hand in situations that we all face sharing the road.

Is this the North Wales Coast / Rhyl "Meet and Greet" thread now?

It's amazing how many extra miles an hour I manage to find in my legs going through the West End.

These seaside towns where the landladies rely on benefits by proxy I used to have to visit various places in the NW (investigating certain things - not benefits/tax) Barrow, Morecambe, Blackpool etc. Haunts of outlaws I believe. Rather uneasy when I left the car parked up. One colleague had the roof of his Saab remodelled by a scaffold pole - he may have got on the wrong side of a construction site agent.....

Haha, I'd not heard of CycleChat before. I'd heard about this guy with a headcam and also seen him about a few times both in car and on my bike, I'd seen him (a while ago now) waving/shouting at people and also people at work have commented about him. Anyway I saw this video posted somewhere and by some very easy google work ended up here.

I thought I'd let him now directly through here what my opinion of his actions are as he does seem quite prolific here.

TBH my opinion of him was that he was some jumped up little T#%T going about annoying people. After further reading here it would appear that not only is he fairly young, he may also have some other issues which although do not excuse his actions at times, do account for them.

Anyway I can't see myself becoming a cycling buddy of his any time soon! But I do wish him well and hope he has calmed down with his shouting and swearing at people.

Your office is abuzz with discussions of Matthew, you watched his video but you can't say where, and you registered here to call him a twat. I expect you have no connection with COASTLINE, or the taxi driver, or bettieboop1991 who uploaded the stalking video.

 

[Mugshot]

Blimey I hope all these newcomers are introducing themselves in The Welcome Mat, there seems to be a severe lack of decorum creeping into this thread

 

[glenn forger]

Well done, Matthew, in two ways.

A difficult situation handled well, with a good outcome.

And a thread where there's a complete consensus of opinion - almost unheard of on here.

Seconded, you've done brilliantly Matthew, the semi-literate chav scum couple in the taxi are so stupid they defy belief, bearing in mind it was they who uploaded the stalky video in the first place, like those wannabee gangster who pose with guns and stolen money and then get predictably arrested.

The mindset of the taxi driver is disgusting, he lied to try to blame you for his own actions. It seems someone with a similar name to bettieboop1991 received tweets asking if the female was her, I don't think it will be long before she's exposed too.
