MOST self employed business startups do 100 hours a week to succeed, why should cabbies be any different, if you want £15K a year for 40 hours a week get a PAYE job![/quote]
Jasus yer thick so on here you admit Drivers are driving 100 hrs a week

Totally illegal of course and playing right into the hands of those concerned about SAFETY
Dont suppose SAFETY FOR THE PASSENGER AND OTHER ROAD USERS WOULD CROSS YER BRAIN

OOPS YER AINT GOT ONE
GAME SET AND MATCH TO TT AS USUAL[/quote]
Your confusing Driving a 100 hours a week with being available to drive 100 hours per week, if you were driving all of the 100 hours every week you'd be heading for a mortuary slab through chronic exhaustion, yet if you were available for a 100 hours per week you might be driving less than 40 per week.
.........
That's about the size of it...simply if you were driving a 100 hours every week you'd not need to because you'd be raking it in with a Cab that's eternally full of cash rich clients..
Think about it Corporal Trot the TDO Clot.

Bloodknock dear chap unfortunately for you and as has been discussed many time the Working Time regs classify being available as WORKING! many have fell foul rightly so on this ....................................your available your working .......................not resting so yer a danger if you do not take the appropriate breaks and time off .........which of course the likes of wannabe dont

Therefore your a danger to your passengers and other Road users ................which is why transporting children OAP's etc on council contracts MUST be removed from the Cab Industry

Take a look at the Working Time regulations.........................dynamite for cab drivers and their irresponsible working practices .............PH and Chauffeur as well scorn public safety .............................did a session in the commons on this ...................along with a professor on sleep deprivation from Loughborough University and Brake the Road safety org........................the current practices must be stopped.........................councils are correct orgs to arrange this transport with PAYE staff and Council owned and maintained vehicles
