Cab Clash!

Cab 5076 Makes Illegal Left Turn

aquarianm@gmail.com (Dan Stafford) — Tue, 9 Apr 2013 19:10:00 -0500

Cab 5076 just made a left turn onto Wells from the far-right lane of Madison while running the red light on Madison, while pedestrians were in the cross-walk crossing Madison, and had just gotten the walk light on Madison. There were also two vehicles cut off by the cab's action, one waiting to go forward, one waiting to turn left in the actual left-turn lane. The light was about one second from turning green.

Violations:

Illegal left turn.
Running red light.
Failure to yield right of way to pedestrians.
Reckless driving.
Reckless endangerment.

Cab 151 And Another Unidentified Cab Lane Breach

Cab 151 is the rear-most cab in this picture. It is stopped at the traffic light halfway into one of the oncoming lanes. Basically, half of it was over the directional dividing line between East and West-bound lanes.

As the light turned green, BOTH West-bound cabs pulled into the East-bound lane I was driving East in, as they were attempting to make a left turn into the Southbound lane of the cross street before I could cross the intersection.

This compounds illegal lane use, going the wrong way, and failure to yield the right-of-way.
Around 19:10 CST this evening or a little earlier.

Cab Clash!: This One Nicked My Truck About A Year Ago...

I was turning into a parking ramp on Wells, and the cabbie must've been distracted, because he drove right under my bumper.

His fare got out and got herself another cab. I have to wonder if his eyes were on the rear-view mirror until this happened.

Drive your own,
