Meanwhile, a year-long operation including the checking of 3,400 taxis has uncovered hundreds of illegal taxis in Northern Ireland. A five-strong Taxi Enforcement Team was set up by the Driver & Vehicle Testing Agency to tackle a problem that officials described as having reached an 'epidemic level'. The move was funded by an additional £20 levy on legitimate drivers. The probe led to: - 372 reported for prosecution for operating illegally; - 252 unlicensed drivers uncovered; - 344 uninsured taxis; - 163 siezures of radio equipment on evidential grounds. Now if five licensing officers can do this in a single year, why can't the rest of the UK follow such a good lead? |
