Black cab drivers are great. The rest are just cowboys.
I have to agree with you there, probably because I drove a Black Cab in London for 30 years, but I have to admit that I considered almost every private car driver to be not much more than a nuisance, who could no more read the road, than I could read a book in the Cyrillic alphabet.
I knew what I was doing, and how to get where I was going, while they seemed to delight in getting in the way, aimlessly.
The rest weren’t ALL “cowboys”, sure, they were my competitors, but a lot of them knew what they were doing, they were just trying to get a living, but even with Sat-Navs, they couldn’t compete with us.
