Well perhaps you or your cabbie should have listened to the travel news.
Huge jams generally get reported very quickly.

There was an occasion when the M25 got completely blocked by an accident,
and many people were held up for 5 hours and missed flights at Gatwick. Some
had passed the last exit (M26 Wrotham) before the accident happened.

Many travel insurance policies will pay out if you miss a flight because of
public transport delays; most won't pay out if you are delayed by a traffic
jam or a breakdown when in your own car.
