Taxi Driver Online

London Taxi Drivers Association ring a bell?

He turned up once at Trafford and having realised you guys are a menace to society he said up yours.

Didn't you tell him that London is next and all their radio circuits and cab drivers will require a private hire operator license if they wish to take a private booking?

Your proposals are that good that London cabbies will rush to embrace them will they not?

Why don't you spell out what it means to London Cabbies? Or are you that unsure of your own argument that you need to hide your proposals under a rock.

I know a great many people both in the Hackney and private hire trade across this country..... but the person you're referring to is simply a figment of your imagination..... why am I not surprised....

I believe the man who says he will wager money on his words knowing that no-one knows who he is in order to collect when proved wrong is no man at all .................... but I will wager this, whatever monies you had in mind are yours providing you collect in person.

I suppose you said yes and that has been the case for the last 160 years.



I'm afraid he wouldn't be able to license hackney cabs in Berwick unless he was a fit and proper person, I hope you told him that? He also wouldn't be able to license hackney cab drivers as each hackney cab driver has to make their own application. I trust you also told him that?



If he was considered a fit and proper person then he could license a hackney carriage as long as it complied with the conditions laid down by the said licensing authority, regardless of which licensing authority that might be.



Hackney carriage proprietors are controlled by the licensing authority that licenses them, I don't think there is any ambiguity in that respect.



I suspect that will hardly surprise anyone.



Would what? Oh I see? You may give your friend my response and if he passes the fit and proper person test in any licensing authority in the UK including London, then he can license a vehicle as long as they don't operate a system of quantity control.

He wont be able to license hackney cab drivers but he can set up a radio circuit for hackney cab drivers just like they do in London and elsewhere but I'm afraid that has nothing whatsoever to do with Berwick or any other licensing authority for that matter.

I suppose he should really have asked someone with a slightly higher IQ than yourself, that way you wouldn't need to come on TDO and ask our advice.

So basically your reply is...... that anyone..... as long as they are fit and proper or have somebody who is fit and proper to front for than .. can open up a Hackney radio station in their own area without a licence...... and use vehicles that are licensed in Berwick on the system.... obviously the driver's licence as well.......

thank you for clearing that up.... I would never have been able to work that out for myself.

Your words JD.... I have never met the man.....

I have told you before.... about not believing everything that is written down in minutes somebody makes a mistake...... and another fool believes it

It appears you are suggesting the LTDA rep is a figment of the meetings of minds own imaginations. How curious that must be to all of us considering this meeting of minds bunch agreed the minutes as being accurate?

No wonder they are colloquially known as mindless.
