Yep, I think the average taxi driver driving competence is going down.

I'm not sure how the "Venn diagram" would look but to my eyes the specific "hybrid driving taxi driver" is generally the worst. Number of Prius, Corolla Hybrid, Kia e-whatever it is SUV thing, those are often driven poorly.

I had to look it up, seemingly a Toyota Esquire is what hit me. Hybrid. (Essentially if you imagine a Prius and a Proace had a particularly ugly baby)

The one that hit Matts car im wondering if he's qualified to drive one let alone understand the roundabout rules.
No comment, or at least, nowt repeatable! :lol:

I live in a 'Y'-shaped cul-de-sac and there is loads of room in the 'Y' to turn around. Most drive in and reverse out, some do it the right way, but there are so many incompetents, one last night, a taxi driver no less, spent several minutes doing a thirty-point turn instead of using the 'Y' that was right beside them. Held up the traffic for ages so the road was blocked making it even more difficult for them to get out.

We didn’t. But we do now.

And I love it!

Attention Mick, in the interests of "Practice what you preach":

Operation: keep the heat out, version 1 is GO!

Yep, that's the way, I made custom heat resistant blinds for all the house windows which are in place, two examples: :-D
