If the insurance companies think Liverpool is a sh** hole, then that's not the fault of Delta.

Typical Liverpool, everything that happens to them is everyone else's fault.

The problem in Liverpool, the problem that no one talks about, is the 58000 pound plate that ether, needs financing, or to rent 300- 330 per week . Two thirds of the black cab dont have radios . They just sit there like they have done for the last 30 years.

Sefton is a bigger a shiit hole than Liverpool, so i dout if there is any difference in insurance. But when your grasping at straws , any crap will do.

Enlighten me to what you call, "your normal work"?

The only thing I understand is that private hire vehicles along with their drivers cannot stand and ply for hire in any place either public or private. I also understand it is perfectly legal for any private hire or hackney carriage driver to wait in any licensed area other than their own.

We know you and the other mindless bunch want every taxi driver in the UK to return to their own license area when they have completed a job but that is never going to happen so I think you guys on Merseyside need to go back to the drawing board and find a different solution to the one you contemplate which is holed below the water line before it even leaves dry-dock.

Liverpool is a very congested city and unfortunately the accident rate is high..... consequently the premium is higher..... that is the way the insurance companies see it........ it is not an argument I would have used....

I think that the Liverpool council and Licence department are concerned with the fact that 1000 plus private hire vehicles are operating within the Liverpool area and have no authority over them.... if a Liverpool resident makes a complaint about a Delta vehicle or driver they have no authority over them.... I don't really think that was the intention of the 1976 Act.

Question for JD..... a person in Liverpool telephones for a delta private hire, he goes across Liverpool and is dropped off in Liverpool, that person is overcharged and verbally abused..... he complains to Delta and they fob him off..... who does he then complained to..

The enforcement officers are empowered to check vehicles, not deal with complaints .

Answer from Sussex.

If a licensed driver is rude to a customer it doesn't matter one jot where the rudeness took place. Punters complain to the LOs of the area in which he is licensed.

As for the overcharging, in a PH that's a matter for the small claims court against the operator that took the booking.

The council that license the vehicle... has no powers regarding a booking in another area

But the booking was taken in the licensed area.

But your scenario is about the rudeness of the driver, not the vehicle. But I don't think that matters anyway.

If a driver punches a man whilst on holiday, or is convicted of 'drunk and disorderly' conduct, then the council should take that into consideration when they decide if he is 'fit and proper'.

In the same way they should consider his rude actions when driving outside of the licensed area.
