Just as a general gripe, in my experience a large percentage of taxi drivers in around Dublin are a danger to the roads. Had 3 separate incidents with them yesterday.
- On a roundabout first and one decides he has a divine right to drive through and takes offense to me not giving way to him, so starts yelling at me about it. Thankfully I was playing some music rather loud so was able to completely ignore him.
- Driving on Dame St last night and I encountered the ol' "I've put my indicator on so I can pull out when I feel like it" trick. Nearly had one plough into the side of me because I didn't give way to him.
- Driving home (during same journey as Dame St incident) had one firstly swerve between bus lane and main road lane in front of me just after canal bridge at Harolds Cross, without any indicating. Then same guy pulls up alongside me at KCR in the turn right only lane, lights turn green and he goes straight and has to swerve in front of me at speed to get back onto the correct side of the road. He then tears off into the distance well in excess of the 50kph limit.
All of these were just yesterday's experiences!! From now on I'm taking reg no's and reporting these guys. Does anyone know the best place to do this?
