report taxi driver to carriage office?

As I was driving in to work this afternoon, a taxi- driver reversed right up alongside the front of my car while we were both waiting at a set of lights. You could hear that terrible paint being scraped off kind of noise and he only stopped driving when I started beeping him. Our cars ended up pretty much wedged together and I was sure he must have scrapped the paint off my car. However this charming and considerate driver took off before I could get out of the car to check. Thankfully (and miraculously) there's only a very slight mark on the bumper of the car.

So, the question is, will I bother ringing the carriage office to report him? I have his plate and license number. I don't want any money out of him to fix the mark or anything- it's his appaling driving ability/lack of consideration that bothers me. So any opinions as to whether I should bother reporting him or not?

clubman- you always have to have your say!!

Yes, do - he shouldnt be on the road, never mind driving a taxi if he drives like that!
What is a child was crossing between cars.

Id report him to the guards

If you were to switch roles, would he report you? I think he would. Report him!

Report him to both the carriage office and the gardai. He's essentially left the scene of an accident.

Darn right - report him.

Taxi Regulator [broken link removed] is now handing complaints and the gardai about the dangerous driving.

as a taxi driver please report him as it might get rid of some of these idiots off the road

Definitely report him.

without shouting...report him

Perhaps the original poster could let us know if she reported the taxi driver in question and what happened?
