According to the aa, newstead to hucknal is 4miles? So 4 miles x 43p is £1.72 ? So if she's paying £6 that's £1.50 a mile me thinks? Just out of interest what is the price of a taxi. |

However this is an abuse, and will only stop when someone is killed in a RTA and the insurance company don't pay out. |

http://www.route-one.net/issues/527/index.html#/22/ Last paragraph, 1st column, gives the Transport Tribunal's view on what really IS "hire and reward". If this decision were juxtaposed to the taxi/ph/"volunteer car" sector, my, how things would change! What they're saying is that if the main business is the carriage of passengers, even if not for profit, then they have to be properly licenced. |

Tried it today, they don't want Taxi Drivers, they prefer OAP drivers. |
