I'm guessing there isn't one. Or they're exempt. Otherwise how can a black
cab stop halfway across a signalled junction in the middle of the road, on a
corner, on double red lines in central london, blocking the traffic behind to
pick up a passenger and some plods in a van nearby do absolutely bugger all?

Do you know what a taxi is for?

I take it you don't complain when a bus stops at a bus-stop?


Bus stops arn't generally sighted on corners in the middle of a traffic
light controlled junction are they you brainless ****wit?

The whole world is a taxi-driver's taxi-stop (or at least, that bit of it
which is within his licensed area). Stopping to pick passengers up is what
taxis do.


Passengers are capable of walking an extra 10 metres if the cap stops up
the road in a safe position.
