A taxi driver appeared in court this week accused of throwing a McDonalds' milkshake at a heavily pregnant woman driver.
Sutton Magistrates’ Court heard John Kinloch, 38, of Croxden Walk, Morden, called the victim a “slag”.
The woman, who was eight months’ pregnant, was trying to turn left off Rosehill Roundabout when a black cab sped up and blocked her from changing lanes causing her to break hard.
After unleashing a torrent of abuse at her, Kinloch threw the milkshake at her front passenger window.
The cabbie, whose 12-year-old daughter was in the back, overtook the woman, who was driving a BMW, and pulled in front of her shouting: “It wasn’t worth wasting my milkshake on you, you slag.”
The defendant was asked to pay costs of £200, compensation of £100 and a victim surcharge of £15.
He said: “I’m sorry for what happened and for wasting your time but there were two victims here.”
