I personally think, that all private hire vehicles should be fitted with at least two swivel seats. and painted a very, very, bright luminous colour.. that would help. :lol:

It wouldn't bother me if I did have to have a swivel seat what bothers me and you know it is I'd rather be HC in a saloon vehicle :D

I love the word.... consultation.... but what does it really mean.... does it mean that they have to take notice of the views presented.... obviously not... as we have seen so many times before.... it's just pacifying the feeble-minded... :oops:

Say a final decision was made that the top 100 densely population cities/large towns had to have a 100% fleet. 60% of them already do, and out of the other 40% many of their cabs are already WAVs.

So exactly how many extra WAVs are we talking about? I say not many. :?


What about the ambient disabled?

what exactly is an ambient disabled...I thought "ambient" was something to do with surroundings.

They are the vast majority of disabled people who don't use a wheelchair. The ones who don't seem to have rights under the DDA :shock:

It's really beginning to pi$$ me off now cos they keep talking as if all disabled people are in wheelchairs when it is probably the smallest % of them that are.
