Sorry for the ropey formatting there. I hope all your eyes recover quickly.
What gets me is that the PCO sets itself up as a quasi-regulator, takes complaints etc, and can act in certain situations - but not all.
Meanwhile, the police have to manage their dwindling resources as best they can, which generally means offences against cyclists get short thrift (because it's not murder, drugs, gang crime etc etc).
That then creates a gap where cabbies can generally drive as poorly as they want, save a jolly letter from the PCO asking them not to run over any two-wheelers if they can avoid it.
Argh.
