Who are the worst drivers in London?

[Chick]

It's got to be Addison Lee in those people carriers.

[jim_the_chin]

A second for Addison Lee - I can't believe anyone would get into one of those cars - followed closely by Clarkes Coaches

[Loz]

Cyclists.

[RosieH]

Women!

[uncleglen]

Black cabs

[Salsaboy]

Bus drivers. They think that they have a right to just pull out whenever and where ever they want.

[the-e-dealer]

cyclists

[Annette Curtain]

My other half

[ultraburner]

black cabs can be very bold. As to whether they're the worst drivers im not sure; their job depends on NOT being in accidents.

Yummy mummys carrying 3 toddlers in big 4 by 4's....

White van man must be on the list.

[maxxi]

estate agents in branded super-minis

oh, and supermarket delivery drivers

[Annette Curtain]

Actually maxxi

I like seeing estate agents in their branded cars

It means we know who they are

Shame more trades (and I use that term with reservation) didn't do it

Netts:-S

[the-e-dealer]

Actually its probably News International Staff!

[ruffers]

People in hats, any kind.

[woodrot]

arsewipes on mobiles seem to be present in significant numbers across all the social & economic stereotypes listed above

[PeckhamRose]

pedestrians 1st who are on mobiles

then as for drivers:

SOME cyclists

Some bus drivers

some bikers

some car drivers of which most young women and all on those on mobiles

Hardly any taxi drivers. As a biker I find them the best!

[Salsaboy]

Oh yes. People on the phone whilst driving. Don't get me started on that subject.

[zeban]

black cab drivers definitely the worst due to their 'anything goes' kind of attitude, esp in central London-trying to navigate a bus in central london is ridiculously hard given the way black cab drivers just feel they can stop anywhere to drop people off and they pull out completely out of the blue.

After that I'd say (some) cyclists are pretty awful. many are just too slow- it's all very well choosing to cycle but many just aren't up to the job of driving on roads in London and inadvertently hold up full buses of people because they just can't keep up to speed level.

[spoiltdog]

Drivers who drive with music BLASTING OUT if you can call it music

[taper]

Do you drive a bike? No. We're talking about four wheeled vehicles.

And as a cyclist I'd say the worst (so most dangerous) are in order:

Local authority bulky rubbish vans

Addisson Lee/people carrier minicab types

Delivery vans other than Royal Mail vans

Royal Mail vans

Lexus drivers

Ruskin Private Hire

Motorcycle couriers

Clarkes coaches

Skip lorries (AKA cycle killers)

Black Cabs

Old Volvos with one front light

Hipster driven scooters

Modern Mercedes Benzs

Builder vans pre-8am before hangover has softened

Demented costermongers leaving East St Market of an evening.

Funny how cyclists seem to think most drivers are the worst.

[ultraburner]

Funny how drivers seem to think most cyclist are the worst.

[the-e-dealer]

Just stand on Charing Cross Road and count how many cars go through red lights and compare with how many cylists go through red lights in 30 minutes.

Yesterday all the cars and pedestrians parted to allow an ambulance through a red light followed by ... you guessed it a Mad Cyclist someone took a swing at him but he missed.

[ultraburner]

And then have a look at the death rates in road accidents, and count up those killed by cyclists.

[the-e-dealer]

And somehow that justifies cyclists being above the law.
