Taxi Driver Online

Well if his logic stacks up then surely that's the logical conclusion.

Well there are numerous different scenarios, clearly, but even if a jockey hiring a car in a restricted area has it 24/7, full collar or whatever it's called, he clearly has more freedom than the average PH driver, but he's still not free to operate his own vehicle under his own name.

Since the recession started I have got finance from two different specialist vehicle finance companies, and I suspect I could have got similar finance from the banks.

However the specialist taxi/PH financiers had a better rate.

You also only have to look in PHM to see firms guaranteeing finance (no-doubt a high rate %).

Which sort of flies in the face of what that vehicle man said at Coventry.

But what in effect the vehicle man said is akin to the banks saying lets give Greece zillions of euros because we did that in the past.

What vehicle did you buy, it wasn't a Mondale was it. and how easy is that to resell as a second-hand vehicle.... a vast market, not like a second hand wheelchair accessible vehicle and no were near the price...

What the Law Commission have to look into is the knock-on effect of their decisions, which are many, like the supply of wheelchair accessible vehicles, why should anybody buy one if they reduce the income of the taxi trade, people will simply discard the wheelchair accessible vehicle and buy a saloon vehicle, while the private hire drivers have the advantage of driving vehicles that are a great deal cheaper to run, where will this leave the council's, how will they fulfil their obligations to the disabled, private hire have been exempt from providing wheelchair accessible vehicles.

If drivers discards wheelchair accessible vehicles.... then the the cost to the disabled for Transport will greatly increase.. as people say supply and demand.... what will happen to the manufacturers... will they call it a day... No Demand..... or because of a shortage of demand will the price get higher.... supply and demand...

you have to make a comparison as to what would happen if all road markings were removed, all road signs, what would the chaos be then. if you got up in the morning and found that a car had been parked across your drive.. and you couldn't get your vehicle out you'd certainly have something to say.

I think it's quite easy to sell on to the second hand market the likes of TXs and Vito's, in the main to people who can't get credit.

Same scenario as having to rent premises, I can work 24/7 if I want but I'll never own them where I want them, lives a bitch

None, but I don't see 100s of them sitting around gathering dust.

If they can't get the money for second hand vehicles, then they wont be able to fund a new vehicle no matter how many finance companies there are.

Which was the point the dealer was pursuing at Coventry.

No it was not.

The dealer at the Coventry Show stated that finance companies have pulled out of taxi finance, period.

They don't want the business because they believe the risks are now unacceptable as a business venture.

But he was pointed the blame, or at least part of it, to the unrestricted/restricted market issue.

And in my view that's bollocks.

You have a right to your view.

I don't agree with your logic.

And the bottom line is, he is the dealer, he knows his business, which is selling taxis.

But was that his view or the slant put on it by the messenger?

BTW, I think it's bollocks as well.
