I couldn't agree more.
The Office of Fair Trading's taxi and PHV study, for example, which aimed to identify competition problems in the market, completely failed to mention the issue, but then again this was perhaps symptomatic of its 'three wise monkeys' approach to 'fair trading'.
Whatever our view about the OFT study, they missed a golden opportunity to, if not sort it out themselves, point this mess out to those who could.
If all drivers paid there way, and those that don't were booted out, our trade would be in a far healthier financial position that it is at present.
