Taxi Driver being nice but not predictable nearly causes collision

Culmore Road, Derry. I'm seeing so much of this, and nearly took me out early yesterday morning. Taxi driver on the inside lane, myself on the outside for turning right up ahead, and there was nothing coming behind us. He slams on brakes and flashes to let fellow taxi out, going out nearly across me. Saw it late and lucky to avoid a collision. Trying to be a nice guy but not predictable, seeing this a lot and it really need needs to stop. Especially when moving at speed and nothing coming behind, no need for stopping to let someone out across others when they can get out seconds later.

I sent the clip to the company yesterday, and they have said it was wrong and will talk to their drivers and use it as a learning and training for them to never do this. Was happy to leave it there. using it here as learning too hopefully
