• I love it when we talk about shared responsibility as if it doesn't exist, then complain on this very same thread about taxi drivers and addison lee drivers as if they're one big homogenous group. You might not accept getting tarred with the same brush as a red light jumping bellend, but drivers really are doing it.

  • Exactly, the number of times I have heard drivers justify a close pass with 'you lot all [insert RLJ, don't pay road tax, ride on the pavement]' is, admittedly anecdotal, proof. As much as I don't like being lumped in with the idiots on bikes, I am. If I don't/say do anything to at least point out their errors then they will just continue to allow themselves to be evidence to those who want to see us all in one way.

    Errr

    Black cab drivers and Addison Lee drivers ARE homogenous groups, and they DO have collective responsibility because they are formally employed as part of an organisation who have the ability to deal with members who break the rules.

    The problem is the Public Carriage Office and Addison Lee don't give a flying fuck about their drivers acting dangerously, so fuck them.
