Taxis often stop to pick up or drop off where they are causing an
obstruction. Is this also legal?

Of course it is.
What's the alternative?

Ooo I know , how about they stop where they DON'T cause an obstruction!
Radical idea but you never know - it might just work.

Relax. The answer is already known: it wouldn't work. There is nowhere one
can stop on the highway without "obstructing" traffic behind. To argue that
no such obstruction is permissible is to argue that taxi drivers must not be
allowed to ply their trade and that taxi passengers are not entitled to a
service.

The whole idea of hailing a taxi is that it stops for you, you get in, tell
the driver where you want to go and off you go. Is this explanation news to you?

Don't be an ass all your life. Is your dad a taxi driver by any chance?

Maybe you should try it sometime?
But maybe not, you have not got the guts.

What for? I have a career, I don't need a blue collar job.

Guts as in the 9 months pregnant beer belly that most of you lot seem to
sport? No, you're right, I don't have those sort of guts.

I wish No , just a normal sized stomach - one that doesn't arrive through
a doorway 10 seconds before the rest of me unlike most cabbies.
