I have every respect for the dedication of london cab drivers in achieving their green badges - but London has a larger problem with illegal vehicles and illegal plying than anywhere else in the UK - if this is what people want to use as a model - then you better make sure you know what you're going to get
And a cap instead of the KOL certainly wouldn't make any difference to that.
