Addison Lee drivers told to defy bus lane law (and to just say SMIDSY)

The knowledge is a pointless rite of passage.

It doesn't make black cabs better, it doesn't make the drivers better, it doesn't make journeys faster or more comfortable.

It does add a layer of money-making bureaucracy, and allows the PCO to maintain their anti-competitive monopoly and monopsony, and it also gives cabbies a massive fucking sense of entitlement and self-righteousness.

Go do the knowledge, come back in two to five years and then let us know if you have the same opinion.
