Discerning Cabbie

London through a cabbie’s eyes 🚕 Road closures, rising costs & real talk. Not always polite. Always honest.

@spurscabdanny I’ve done it once and got a ticket. 🤣

Me driving my taxi and looking out for cyclists! 🙄🤣

[Discerning Cabbie @DiscCab]

@SashaSwire Agreed! It’s especially frustrating when some cyclists refuse to take accountability for their actions by causing accidents, colliding with pedestrians, damaging vehicles, and then riding away as though nothing happened.

@kp_hedges It’s across the board in life, not just our industry. It’s everywhere. It’s a societal change. Real shame.

[Discerning Cabbie @DiscCab]

@Mediumdave1666 🤣 I blame his nerves.

[Discerning Cabbie @DiscCab]

I don’t care what anyone says, the KOL is not easy and has not been made easier. You just work hard and pass. It’s not handed to you. Proud of every London cabbie.

After 55 attempts over five years, Anshu Moorjani finally completes “the Knowledge” series of exams, earning a London black cab license. https://t.co/kHSv9M8aDn

@overlook61 I got my handshake 9 years ago and when I was on 56’s I could request my next app earlier. As for the 1000’s of points I learnt, I was only asked about 10% of them. Very rarely was I asked an obscure point. I accept the redlining argument, but that’s it.

@PaulParklane Shaftesbury av straight into Piccadilly would be amazing. That Haymarket, Regent St Saint James loop is a pain in the bum.

[Discerning Cabbie @DiscCab]

@CrimeLdn Modern London in a nutshell. Zero respect and entitlement all over the place. No one is immune to this. Absolutely disgraceful behaviour.

[Discerning Cabbie @DiscCab]

Road closures galore in town, happy joy.

[Discerning Cabbie @DiscCab]

@MarioNawfal Yeah, f*ck that. 😩

[Discerning Cabbie @DiscCab]

@TheRealSitts Ticking over.

[Discerning Cabbie @DiscCab]

Yet to see a voting turnout of over 50%. Clear to see how disillusioned people are with politics in general.

[Discerning Cabbie @DiscCab]

@gibbocharlie80 @ic_lewis @TheLTDA @john_battles 🤣 Miserable bugger.

[Discerning Cabbie @DiscCab]

@gibbocharlie80 @ic_lewis @TheLTDA @john_battles That’s just society these days and we’re a representation of that. No one gets an easy ride on the KOL. You work hard.

[Discerning Cabbie @DiscCab]

@CitizenUddin @EalingCouncil Mind your own business. FS! This filming and taking photos of people needs to stop.

[Discerning Cabbie @DiscCab]

GHH to Apple Store, Regent St. “I know, I know.” 🙄

Young American jumps in, he reckons black cabs cost more than Uber, but couldn’t get one because none were available. Asked what he was quoted, said £17. I laughed. Rip-off. Got him there for £9.60. You’re welcome, son.

@overlook61 Gentle parenting 🙄

[Discerning Cabbie @DiscCab]

Scored 92% on my SERU test and I’m disgusted I didn’t get 100%. If you spot me driving around town with my SERU score under my identifiers, don’t judge me, just know I know what I’m doing.
🤣🤣🤣
