Eh? If cab drivers have to obey the law they'll become economically
unviable?
If that's the case, then they DESERVE TO LOSE THEIR JOBS. Why should
society
tolerate people who make their living by breaking the law?

Oh come on! At least you can identify a reckless driver.

Who knows a poor Black cabbie?

Anyone ever heard of an unemployed Black Cabbie due to being late for work?

If a black cab opts to use the Bus Lane - STAY IN IT!

Suburban black cabbies (the main subject of the thread) are not wealthy. As
for All-London cabbies, if you think they are overpaid for what they do,
no-one is stopping you from becoming one.
