Frank exchange of words with black cabbie New Topic Reply to Topic

North-bound, London Bridge, three lanes, I'm in the left hand lane,
he's in the middle.

I'm doing about 20 mph, he ducks into my lane without indicating, I jam
the brakes on and skirt around to his offside.

"Gimme a chance mate, use your indicators!"


"I don't need to indicate"

he said

"I'm going straight on!"


He accelerated off, I set of after him and catch him in traffic by the
B of E. His window's open, I can see he's clocked me, I go up.

"Mate, you swung into my lane"

I said, reasonably.


"Tchuh, this is the problem, you people"

he began, so I became as reasonable as I could with my legs still
shaking.


"Mate, you weren't indicating, your offside brake light's bust too".


"Oh, that's my fault is it? Tell Ken".


All this said in a fairly even-voiced way, he banged on a bit more
about how he was going straight on so didn't need to indicate (?) and
then the traffic moved off.


Blatantly in the wrong and he COULD NOT admit it.
