A rude road bully in a form of a Merc cab driver

In respond to my buddy's blog regarding his little "misadventure" with a cab driver.
I just had one jus a few days ago just outside my house along Riverview Drive. If you read my blog before, this is not the first time i had problems with local cab drivers.

So here goes, this is what happened...

Dear is coming over to my place to pick me up and we were goin out to meet another fren of her's. When she picked me up, she did a detour and ended up behind a few blocks near Rivervale mall. And i asked her whats wrong. She told me to note down this particular Merc Cab's number plate.

After dear explained to me. I realised how rude the cab driver was.

Dear wanted to do U turn to my place, as she was in the left lane , she needed to change to the right lane. She checked her mirror and there was the merc cab but was still a distance away. So dear did the change gradually. But the cab driver instead of slowing down, came right behind dear's car, beeped his horn. So dear turned away to see wats wrong, and what she saw angered her. The cab driver actually showed her the middle finger! And thats not all, the cab driver continued to tailgate dear so closely as if trying to run her off the road.

This also upset me. The next day i called up Comfort Cab personnally who operates the Mercs Cabs. And did a complain, comfort apologised and said that such action will not be condorned and will send an investigating officer to check the driver.

What a horrible experience. I never knew i've seen such things but than,some taxi drivers sumtimes do stupid and inconsiderate actions to anger the other road users.

Just terrible and a shame.
