I'm guessing there isn't one. Or they're exempt. Otherwise how can a black
cab stop halfway across a signalled junction in the middle of the road, on
a
corner, on double red lines in central london, blocking the traffic behind
to
pick up a passenger and some plods in a van nearby do absolutely bugger
all?
Because it is a taxi and that is what taxis do?

He does have a point. Stopping half way across a signalled junction is
particularly inconsiderate of the driver, and it was also singularly
stupid of the passenger to be standing in the middle of a junction to
hail a cab, instead of standing at the side of one of the roads leading
to the junction.

Mind you, I also suspect that he has either made the story up entirely
or at least rather embellished it just so he can spew some ignorant hate.

Was the experience traumatic for you?
Were you all upset?
Did you **** in your pants?
Hot flush?
Get angry?
Wished you lived 250 miles north of the great ******** of London?
Wished you did not live in the great ******** of the south?

Which one?

You sure it was only one?
