Taxi Driver Online

As sad as it may sound, but I still believe that dusty bin is NOT a real hackney carriage driver, propeitor, or even a plate Baron.

Limited credit options brought about by limited companies prepared to give credit is the problem.

So would you say if 50 finance companies supplied the trade then that would be a good enough reason to bin taxi restrictions?

No I wouldn't say that at all

I hear people allready saying ,i dont care ill get a plate.I think they are thinking that it will be worth something and they will be able to earn a living ! Dusty your the one that bangs on about everyone elses area,and knows everything about it.Thats the only thing what makes me curious of what backwater sh1thole you work ? I dont really think i know the workings of the whole countrys taxi fleet ,but your mantra makes you sound like you do ? You seem to know best.Why would some councils keep restrictions do you think ? Why would some councils go down the route of re-restriction ? You dont think maybe because it works do you ? Stop fretting about values of them,because your the only one i hear about that.

I imagine him more of a Keith Barret ! That taxi driver who rob brydon acted as.

He's probably a PH operator nobleman that wants more cabs on his dispatch system.

His knowledge is the type of knowledge you get when listening to your dad at the end of a shift on a private hire vehicle

All of which frivolity reminds me that rather than spending a couple of hours a day on here achieving little more than raising Mr T's blood pressure I'd maybe be better spending my time actually reading beyond page 15 of the consultation. Who knows what juicy morsels lie within the other 200 plus pages

I'd have thought you would be refurbishing and revamping your tome by now, ready to present to the LC.

No tome I'm afraid, but if I'd spent time doing one rather than posting on here then I could maybe have managed a few dozen pages thus far.

Exactly, which is why what the vehicle dealer said is utter rubbish.

I'm not sure how many times I should have to write this but no they would not all like to pick up on the streets. It's a forum not a court house so I don't have to give numbers, names, addresses etc I just know because I have been told by drivers. You don't have to believe me cos I don't give a feck if you do.

Grow up and stop being so bloody childish

Hi Mr Percival, I'm Kags from the Wirral, please don't derestrict, there's too many taxis you know, and some people need protecting from themselves, cos I know better than them. In fact reminds me of the time I said that the trade suited me because it's flexible and I can fit it round my other several sources of income, but please don't let other drivers who rely on the trade for a living have a taxi if they want one, because they'll just cherrypick when they want to work, and they need protecting from themselves you know.

And as I said, there's too many taxis, but I know a nice man from Sefton called Trevor who has a fleet, and instead of drivers running their own taxi if it suits them they can go to Trev and get a drive there and pay him his inflated rentals, because remember if they drove for themselves there'd be too many taxis and they need protecting from themselves, ideally by driving a taxi for the selfless and benevolent Trev. And anyway, allowing drivers the choice to work for themselves would amount to controlling peoples' lives and be like the Third Reich, innit?

And don't forget that if anyone disagrees with this then they can't be a real taxi driver, in fact he'll probably be a child pretending to be an adult whose Daddy in fact drives a PHV, thus clearly not a real taxi driver at all and needs to grow up a bit.

And again I'm not sure what all this stuff about names and addresses has to do with the debate about a single-tier system.

Wow didn't realise it was a debate about the single tier system I thought it was answering the question regarding whether all ph drivers would pick up from a rank if it was legal to do so. The answer to that is not all drivers want to do that and wouldn't even if it was legal to do so.
