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

Until he makes a statement in which he commits Addison Lee to be a paragon of road safety, fully respecting all laws of the road and the rights of other road users to use the road... then Addison Lee should feel the effect of a full boycott by cyclists and our employers.

Simply put: Fuck off John Griffin... tell us how you're going to respect all road laws and road users or STFU and feel our boycott.

There is always space for a reasoned debate on cycle training, but the issue here is the reckless actions of a minicab company.

But there are two issues here: his drivers' use of bus lanes and his (and possibly by extension his drivers') attitude towards cyclists.
A boycott is a great idea as a way of getting him to rescind his edict about bus lanes. We should all support it.
A statement? He has already made a statement that his drivers are trained to respect cyclists. He can make another one but what will that achieve if he does not actually change his ill-informed views? And how easy would it be for him to ask if cyclists are going to "respect **all **road laws?" He doesn't appreciate the different consequences of drivers' and cyclists' behavior. We can perhaps force him to *say *the right thing. We should also hope that we can get him really to believe in the right thing. That is not letting him fool us.
