  • This was in early March when we were all just getting super worried about Corona, but still a few weeks from lockdown. The cabbie had to go on a driver awareness course which would have cost him about £100 and the best part of a day.

    This was enjoyable. I chat several times a week with a retired London police officer, when we play a word game against each other. I have the highest respect for the officers who do their job conscientiously, both here in the USA and in other countries.
    I have often wished I could do here, what you do there - but here I risk being shot as a result of such actions, plus the fact that there is no such law here that allows citizens to report motorists bad behavior or scofflaw attitude, and get results. Might as well howl at the moon! Stay safe, Mikey.

    It’s obviously a problem spot that needs to be made more efficient to help the traffic flow. The people who take the cheeky short cut aren’t in the right but I can understand their frustration and temptation to cut the corner. It’s definitely a dangerous move to make and it would be far more productive to find a solution to this reoccurring problem than stand there waiting for the next problem to occur and getting a sense of satisfaction out of catching the the culprits. Some people have too much time on their hands being a busybody getting gratification out of an obviously problem point rather than trying to find a solution.

    He mentioned Uber. I always use Uber. I know the fare beforehand and there is no risk of a taxi driving me round for miles extra across a city I am in for the first time. That happened to me which I found out after the one quarter distance, time and price return trip, and it's why I've used Uber ever since.

      Uber never used to use flat fares until recently and what about when you really need to get somewhere and they put surge pricing on to make it much more expensive than being driven around the block?

      LOL, it does. However, his duties require him to cycle through the park, and I often see Parks police driving through the same sort of entrance. I guess it's OK as they're police. I've really no idea on what is actually legal.
