Have just had an Addison Lee white knuckle ride - sat in the back & 1/2 asleep, it seemed that aside from going too fast, enough for me to tell the driver to slow down, when overtaking cyclists, he left almost exactly the same gap to the cyclist, as the cyclist was from the kerb - it was a useful lesson to me (aside from why I still use AL), that road positioning & defensive cycling is key. Re AL, maybe AL accounts are the reason for their excessive speeds - as the driver has to accept account work & gets less of the fare
