A Licensed Black Taxi Driver would’ve spent 4 years+£30k-£40 on studying The Knowledge of London. They then have to purchase a £70k+ or £350p/w vehicle to work in.
Restricting Black Taxi’s from accessing roads/bridges is grossly unjust and a step too far.https://t.co/LC8snfBVJe
Cycling on pavements is dangerous. Even to other cyclists. But we gave up on cycling laws decades ago for cyclists are the special people - or so it seems.
Stuck in Berkley Square, Berkeley Street shut yet again, white vans lorries absolute bedlam, the no management of the road network shames this city so badly. @TfL@CityWestminster
Shaftesbury Ave shut eb & they shut brewer street. Just to make it as difficult as possible to go east. Whoever is in charge of the road system, clearly has no clue what they are doing.
An update; The idiot crashed again, see below, the vehicle was righted and unbelievably he drove off again. He abandoned the vehicle and was apparently apprehended. @metpoliceuk

This is St Paul’s Church Yard.
Where you see the cycle lane on the right going towards New Change there used to be a bus lane.
The cycle lobby decided to sacrifice buses here delaying them up to 30 minutes on certain days.
Please don’t tell me they care about buses …..
“DON’T ASK SOMALIANS QUESTIONS, TOO MANY WILL GET YOU KILLED”
Another day on Sadiq Khan’s Transport for London and a crazy drunk Somali getting angry at a bus driver, making threats to kill and terrorising passengers.
These people really have no place in our country.
Cycling to work at 4-30am …. But I’m the wrong type of cyclist…….
The ( LCC )London Cycling Campaign are busy attacking people on Nextdoor currently who speak out about LTNs … calling people like me.. the som of a Muslim immigrant a far right conspiracy theorist. The usual text book attacks. Yet I proved they lied about evaporation by not including slow moving vehicles in data counts ….. I was right and they were wrong … yet they continue to use text book attacks on victims.
Following reports of issues with the website, London City Airport has confirmed taxis are exempt and do not need to pay anything nor register on Autopay. Drivers need not do anything and should not receive any PCN's.
Thinking about doing the Knowledge?
Your first step should be attending an Introduction Class.
It explains exactly what the Knowledge involves, what commitment is required, how the system works, and whether it’s the right path for you. No guesswork, no myths — just the facts from people who know.
