@Gaz. I'd really like to know how you feel about that taxi driver now. Have you seen him since the 'event'? I know my attitude towards him softened as the show progressed. At first I thought he was an agressive thug.

He was an aggressive thug with knobs on. He managed to convince you otherwise because of his smooth justification for his dreadful driving behaviour.
 
I dont think think Gaz did okay,if you could do a better job then go for it. The incident with the taxi driver he even stated he regreted doing some of the stuff he did. So all in I personally thought the program was well balanced.

IMO thought it put all sides quite well although they could do to come up here and spend a day at the mini roundabout just down the road from me ! once I have got past this mind boggaling devise the rest of my rides are usualy event free ( don't think I should have typed that )

I just watched it and though it was ok. Well done to all from on here who contributed. I particularly enjoyed the old taxi driver and the irishman who filmed the assault in Bexleyheath - he had a very dry sense of humour!

Part of this clip was used in the programme last night. What makes it special though is what happens after the near miss.

They should just put that on tv every night for a year.

Way better than the show. (Terrible editing for TV though)

- Mistake happens.
- Cyclist goes mental as a Bike almost hit him.
- 'Bike' gets humanised as the cyclist realises it was a mistake by a PERSON and not a vehicle.

Everyone learns a lesson.

I think your penchant for the dramatic has stayed constant tbh
Actually it is hard to judge with what I have uploaded. The amount doesnt represent the actual amount of incidents I have. My uploads have been constant but I have actually seen a large decrease of incidents in the latest months.
I think it is mainly due to me not responding to things much anymore.
