Cyclist Hating Taxi Driver Stops In And Blocks Cycle Lane

Hamilton, New Zealand

18 Dec, 2024 - 1 month ago - on Bryce Street

Dangerous cyclist hating taxi driver ( #bluebubbletaxi) goes out of his way to block cyclists from using cycle lane by crossing into and stopping to block lane for no reason (nothing was stopping him entering car park) after illegally crossing lane where cyclists (straight ahead non-turning traffic) had right of way. He stopped there until tooted at. He also caused other traffic to back up.
Taxi company did nothing when contacted except claim they would talk to driver. He should be fired and have his licence removed, but instead he is allowed to continue driving, cutting in front of and blocking cyclists and attempting to kill them. I bet if I stopped and blocked the car lane for no reason they would be quick to give me a ticket. Maybe next time i am in front of a taxi I'll just stop for no reason and block them from continuing.
