• Luckily they're highly trained drivers.

    Oh dear, you've fallen for this crock of shit. Years driving a moped round London memorising routes does not make you a good driver and beyond repeating the basic driving test with a test of getting a wheelchair in and out the cab, there are no additional technical skills tests or training for black cab drivers.

  • But doing the knowledge does tend to mean you don't suddenly cut across two lanes of traffic to make a left because you've just seen where your sat nav is sending you. In my experience Black Cabs drive in a more consistent and aware way than most forms of London traffic.

  • most forms of London traffic

    Let's be honest - that bar is set pretty low though. My experience with cabs differs from yours, however being the best of a shit bunch doesn't make you great.

  • more consistent

    Consistently bad

    Indeed.

    You just have them slamming across lanes and smashing their brakes because they have seen a fair, or they are dropping someone off.
