When a driver refuses a Driver Awareness Course

[glenn forger]

They have a point. Why would they accept complaints from someone who wasn't there, doesn't use black cabs and not even a resident of London?

I was there, use black cabs and live in London.

Or it was a move to the left to allow space for oncoming traffic with the assumption that the cyclist on the nearside would do the same.

Come on? Seriously? They were obviously having a bit of argy bargy, given what you can see. It's hard to say what was going on before that, but the bit on the junction starts with Droid apparently waving on the taxi who then barrels past and jams on (for no apparent reason?)

The knocking him off was totally deliberate. Irrelevant of any words said, gestures made etc, deliberately using a vehicle as a weapon surely has to be taken more seriously?

The cab driver has anger management problems that much is clear.
What isnt clear due to editing is what got him so angry in the first place.

IMHO droid is a complete p-ick who goes round winding people up to get what he considers good video footage.The amount of bad feeling generated must make London just that little bit more dangerous for cyclists.

This, so much this. It is clear that he makes videos to earn, hence the monetisation of his YouTube channel.

But still, it's no excuse for using a vehicle as a weapon. If you got into an argument with a pedestrian, and threw your bicycle at them, I'm sure there'd be complaints! It also highlights at how angry people do get on the roads.

How does he manage without a downward facing camera carried by a drone? Missing a trick, that fella...

Droid took a dive.

I'd have given him a yellow card.

It cost them points and a fine. That horrible clip makes you wonder how many times it has happened without being caught on film.

I'm glad he did refuse it, otherwise he wouldn't have got the penalty points he richly deserved.

That wouldn't surprise me, you're both an annoying addition to the Internet.
