Taxi drivers to block traffic in London.

Happening this afternoon and mentioned on BBC London TV.

So how, in terms of effect, does this differ from Critical Mass?

It doesn't, it'll be just as annoying, especially if you get stuck in the
jam. Do you think that Taxi drivers are somehow popular amongst other
drivers?

Apart from them having announced the route they'll follow, and having
liased with the police, you mean?

I noticed that one of their demands is "Allow black cab drivers to stop to
use toilets"
WTF? Does someone prevent them from going to the toilet?

When a cab has a fare, everyone else gets in their way. When they're
looking for a fare they get in everyone else's way.

it can cost many pounds to pay to park while you use a public loo, which are
few and far in London

What do bus drivers do? Seems to me they have more of a problem than taxis.

When a cab has a fare, everyone else gets in their way. When they're
looking for a fare they get in everyone else's way.

When a black cab is picking up a fare it seems the rules of the road no longer
apply. They do u-turns anywhere , stop anywhere including halfway across
junctions, in the middle of the road with traffic behind, you name it. It
might only be a minority or them who are crap drivers but its a significant
minority.

Less, I'd have thought - they have set routes and set stopping points/
times.
