Voices: I’m a black cabbie – here’s why driving in London is now impossible

I’ve been a black cabbie in London for more than seven years, and I can honestly say that conditions for drivers in this city are – without a doubt – worse than they have ever been. It feels as though every new day presents some new obstacle that hinders motorists like me, dreamt up by a mayor who seems to have made it his mission to make our lives as hard as possible.

Yesterday, the former environment minister and ex-London mayor candidate , 48, was after being caught speeding four times in the last year. While that sounds bad – especially for somebody whose has contributed to the mayhem on the capital’s streets – I do have some sympathy, as well as some admiration, for the former Tory MP.
