The driver appears to have been on the Cromwell Road (not a shared

road.

This was a mini cab driver, I suppose.Â* How could somebody who makes his
living by driving do something daft like that?

Yup. I had to stop a black cab today and point out that he was driving
the wrong way along a one way street.

To be fair, he was apologetic, thanked me and turned around straight
away - unlike the cyclist who I met on the same road a couple of hours
later.

The cyclist turned against a no left-turn/no entry sign into the road
that I was on. As I was coming to the end of the road and intended to
turn right, I was well over on the right side. I hit the brakes, lights
and horn and came to a stop. He swung across the front of my car,
stopping right in front, then passed along my left side, stopping to
spit on the car.

Over recent years I have met three cars going the wrong way there and
told them, each has been apologetic and thankful - only one continued
and that was because he couldn't have turned with the large trailer he
was towing.

I have met a fair-few more cyclists than that and all have been rude and
then continued on as before.
