Taxis - Black Cabs, Uber, Illegal Cabbies

Utter bullshit, cabbies do no CPC development work unlike lorry drivers, emergency service drivers do a load of extra training. Cabbies are not the best trained drivers on the city streets.

chief executive, Ashok Sinha, and general secretary of the LTDA, Steve McNamara.

McNamara, said:

“As cabbies, we often get a bad press for not looking out for cyclists. We are, however, the best trained drivers on the city streets, recognizing the need to share the streets with all users and are always looking to increase the safety of our passengers, pedestrians and cyclists. Far from being our adversaries, cyclists are regular customers, with cabbies often accepting both bike and rider in the back of a cab when circumstances make cycling impossible. We will be promoting the ‘take care of cyclists’ message to all of our members, and plan to train some of the City of London drivers in cycle skills session later this year. ”
