A sad little man using his old white Range Rover as a weapon. He also needs to keep his guttermouth girlfriend's window locked. The only hot thing is the number plate. I have his sorry little road rage incident on dash cam that I will add later. I did nothing illegal, immoral or wrong. A little loser heading to Southend on the A127
White male aged 40-45, attempted to run over pedestrians (including children) in Knole Park, suspected to be driving under the influence of controlled substances. Pending investigation.
In the video
Close overtake
I point to camera
Taxi goes into road rage
I overtake and shout your on camera you c**t
He accelerates into left lane stopping me from moving over
He then begins to tailgate me (watch me check my mirrors)
At traffic lights I tell him he's going to be reported
He's still mouthing off
Then he jumps the red light to continue with his rage.
Big thank you to Ashfield District Council Taxi Licensing Team who have reviewed said footage and gave the following reply
"The overtake was not just unacceptable but in light of the location of the traffic island extremely dangerous.
The driving through the red light itself was an offence, and the language was completely out of order. This driver is expected to represent a professional trade, and has been licensed by us to be a safe, responsible carrier of fare paying passengers.
The likelihood is that the evidence that you provided will form part of a report to review this drivers suitability to continue to hold a licence."
And to add - Ashfield District Council will continue to investigate and question the driver then put their findings to a sub-committee to make the final decision.
In all likely hood I believe Ashfield District Council will make the right decision and if that means revoking his taxi licence that'll be good for fare paying passengers but sadly will not prevent this muppet from holding a driving licence without further training but it's worthwhile to note that Ashfield District Council are pro-active in ensuring., where possible, taxi drivers are responsible for their actions.
Was driving along leven and this idiot pulled out right in front of me. Had to slamm the brakes on with kids in the car and then he shot away doing atleast 40 in a 20. Reported to the local police for the danger he put us in.
rude and aggressive
