| - At approximately 1:55 PM this afternoon, June 29, 2016, the taxi dropped off a passenger on Dundas St. E. just west of Sackvlille St. I wanted to make a right hand turn on to Sackville so I waited patiently behind the taxi as the passenger exited. The cab driver then put his car in reverse and sat like that for 10-15 seconds. I put on my indicator, as there was traffic coming from behind, and went to pass him, allowing him to reverse (there was another Beck Cab about 15 meters back idling roadside) and I assumed he was going to sit there to have a chat with his colleague. I then signaled to turn right after passing the Taxi. The driver then decided to move forward, and started honking his horn at me, and then followed me on to Sackville and continued honking his horn. I pulled over to the right curb, got out of my car, and photographed his vehicle license plate, and took his photograph as well. He also got out, and stood within an inch from my face and started yelling, you can't just cut me off like that and get away with it. Get away with it? I followed the law to the letter. I signaled every intention and made a safe right hand turn. He was 100% in the wrong and he gets defensive and angry with me? This behaviour is unacceptable. The fact that he blew his horn at me 3 times, when he was in the wrong is unacceptable. He then proceeds to take pictures of me, and my car, and threatens me he is going to send it to City Pulse and have me on the news. This driver is definitely not stable, has anger issues, is threatening, and should need at a minimum to go through some anger management training before he works in, and with the public.
I have sent a complaint to a Lead Supervisor named Sara (no last name as apparently they don't do last names at Beck Taxi) using email sara@becktaxi.com as her contact info, as directed by the woman who answered the phone when I called.
