You haven't posted a link to the news story this time (probably because a cyclist wasn't involved), but I can immediately think of 2 ways in which this differs from the CM protest: 1. Taxis do a useful job in our cities and 2. They *may* have a valid reason for their protest. CM do neither. In terms of 'effect' the gridlock will be the same - the only potential difference is that the taxi drivers will probably comply with the law and no arrests will have to be made.

Look, do you want to be leader of this gang? 2. No. We agreed no leaders. 1. Right. Now shut up and do as I say. (Time Bandits) BugBear
