Taxi Drivers in Bolton

[CaptainZok]

I know they advertise a door to door service but I think this guys taking it a bit far.  

Luckily noone was seriously hurt.

we have to be careful here what we say regarding how taxi's are driven  

Interesting shot there, wonder how he managed that. Maybe avoiding something that came out in front of them?

He bounced off the front of a citroen that was coming down the street.

Looks like that taxi was a Saab 93?

Not bad considering you spend all day on the road really, i had a prang when i was 17, i was reversing and was looking back, forgot to check the front and swung the front side into a post. Ooops!  

Learnt my lesson though, check the front and back when reversing!

The citroen



Another view.

No Tunnie it was an N reg Toyota.
The front of the Citroen had vanished lol.

I know that as in Bury, in the early hours, they just put their 'I can park anywhere I like lights' on and park up in some stupid places - on yellow lines, next to traffic lights. (Wigan/Dean Rd)  

Obviously taxis in Swindon aren't driven/parked like this!

Last time i crashed a car it was my merc.....the base operater was calling me (not usual as work get sent over a data box) asking me time for pickup..location/etc.....so i was a bit distrated....i pulled outa a junction without double checking it....straight into another car  

[tunnie]

Toyota should have guessed!

That rear light cluster to me looked like a Saab.

Shows Citroens are cheap for a reason!

Funniest bit was the woman running out of the house screaming "I was f-ing sat there." as though the guy intended to do it.

I agree actually some taxi drivers do pull up in stupid places.......but having said that sometimes the customer says ' stop here drive' so its sometimes difficult to please other motorists and the customers....plus did you know you are allowed 5 mins on double yellow lines?

[Lawman]

I had a taxi driver crash into the back of me a year ago. "sorry, I was on my radio"

That's a good excuse for.....I wasn't watching the road at all, but the police incident that was in progress
