Just When You Think You've Seen Everything

This occurred when we were driving through Smethwick last weekend bringing our son's belongings home from Birmingham University for the summer. The car two in front of us was going at about 25 in a 30 limit, possibly because of the amount of parked cars and pedestrians. Immediately in front of us was a taxi. We reached a red traffic light. The slow-moving car stopped in the left-hand lane and the taxi in the right-turn only lane.
I know what you're thinking - you think I'm going to say that the taxi went straight ahead from the right-turn lane. Nothing so mundane - the taxi turned left, across the path of the car, which had to veer to avoid hitting it. How I wish we had a dash cam so we could have reported this to the police.
