Mrs. B Side-Swiped In The Heights
A few minutes ago Mrs. B was side-swiped on Pierrepont Street in a hit-and-run by a yellow cab with medallion number 3Y65; there were three small children in the back of the car. No one was hurt but we’re out a side view mirror. We reported it to TLC but don’t have a lot of…
A few minutes ago Mrs. B was side-swiped on Pierrepont Street in a hit-and-run by a yellow cab with medallion number 3Y65; there were three small children in the back of the car. No one was hurt but we’re out a side view mirror. We reported it to TLC but don’t have a lot of faith they’ll do anything about it. It will be interesting to watch the slow wheels of bureaucracy turn though. Anyone have any relevant experiences to share?
Glad there were no injuries! And lucky it was only a busted mirror.
This reminded me of two tiny taxi stories-
Some years ago I was taking a taxi in the Lower East Side. The driveer was clearly lost and my sister sharply said to him that he should really learn his way around if he was going to keep doing this for a job. Well his face scrunched up and he just burst into tears.
And in a completely unrelated incident, in fact having nothing to do with taxicab drivers, but the cab itself…
I’ve always been interested in going into buildings that appear abandoned. So, when someone asked me to go with them to scope out the old hospital or monastary on Throop Ave. in Bed Stuy, I said sure. We went in, saw lots of water damage and some great potential and an entire yellow cab, medallion and all.
thanks for the well-wishes
Happy nothing serious and nobody hurt.
was she in the st ann’s 3pm pick-up lane? I find that whole pierrepont/clinton corner nuts around that time. there is a safety guard but I find kids (and parents) just jaywalk around her. then there are the pick-up parents in cars who are double parked, etc. and the cabs rushing down clinton. the whole situation is not good. glad nobody was hurt.
I like the vision of Mrs. B. chasing him and beeping her horn! But seriously, glad everyone’s ok, and definitely follow-up with the police and TLC, not just here on your site.
And I’m glad you busted out the driver by posting his taxi number.
YO TAXI #3Y65: YOU ARE A FIRST CLASS DILLWEED!
Mr. B, sorry this happened to you but glad to hear you are all ok.
Did I mention I’m a lawyer 🙂 If you wanna hold your neck and your back (soft tissue injuries are almost impossible to disprove) I could be of use to you! Just kidding! Glad to hear you are fine. Seriously, call the cops and report the bastard.
BSD, Mrs. B chased him for a couple of blocks honking her horn so we’re pretty sure he was aware!
Thank goodness everyone is ok. good luck with the TLC. I’ve heard a lot of horror stories but maybe they’ve improved.
