Do cabbies own the road?

Taxis with passengers on board, however, are not at all considerate of other

their passengers, who end up with a slower, and dearer, journey for every
act of consideration that the driver shows to other road users.

Yes but you should probably still merge in turn when it is appropriate
to do so.

Stopping to let traffic out of side roads can also be inconsiderate -
to the drivers behind you. You may not be in a hurry (and I doubt a
taxi "for hire" is in a hurry to go anywhere) but that doesn't mean
that they are not.

When using a signature, you're supposed to seperate it from the body
of your post by placing it in a paragraph of its own at the end of
your post.

Actually, you are supposed to separate it with a line containing only
"minus minus space" - see via sig below : line 2, I expect, or even 3.

Well, yes, but I was attempting to make a funny quip, not a
technically-exact correction.

The problem with that approach is that others might actually believe
what you write.

You're never likely to have that problem.
