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

Anecdote tiem:

These things seem to happen disproportionately more often to lynx than they do me, even if we're riding about at the same time on the same roads around the same drivers. One of my theories as to why this might be is that I get less angry about poor driving than he does, so I've forgotten all about it after five minutes.

People who get angry about shit driving will bear a grudge for miles and miles and hours and hours and then develop a perception bias because of it, so they're more likely to be looking for it and remembering it and stewing about it in a frothy rage.

Yes. We all know of other people on here who seem to get in more than their fare share of scrapes. And as for Addison Lee, they have 3.500 vehicles, all of them easily recognisable so that's probably why people remember when their drivers do something silly rather than because their drivers are worse than other mini-cab drivers, or possibly drivers in general.
There are still arseholes who go on about women drivers; because they are looking out for them and remembering every incident.
Generally anyone who is paid to drive their vehicle is under pressure to get where they are going as quickly as they can - this includes pushbike couriers - and are more likely to be impatient and reckless.
