Taxi Driver Online

Thats true JD....do you think anyone should be allowed to do that?

And further to what MrT said....if the vehicles and drivers are licensed in Berwick (for example) and the circuit is still purely HC and in Sefton.....who's responsibility is it then?

I don't see a problem with that because that has been the case for 160 years long before the 1976 act came into force and it is also the case in London as it is here. You seem to be of the opinion that anyone setting up a hack radio circuit is a potential scoundrel? You also seem to think that operators don't take down bookings or if they do take down bookings they discard them. The fact is, that in order to take a booking you have to write them down somewhere, unless you are Fred Housego and have the memory of an sd card? Therefore the argument about not keeping records doesn't stack up. That is why I asked you for evidence of those operators who are supposedly not keeping records?

You have to realise that the hackney carriage system has been around for a very long time and some of us aren't going to lie down while it is changed to the detriment of hackney carriage drivers.



Hackney carriages and their drivers come under the licensing authority in which they are licensed.

I admire your regard for the HC driver...indeed so much so that I am one myself...I certainly dont think there should be any changes to what a hackney carriage driver has been carrying out on a routine basis for 160 years. i.e. the ability to accept pre bookings by customers.

But I see there is a loophole....and I believe it needs addressed.




And how does a licensing authority control its licensed drivers from over 300 miles away?

And JD and some others thought that there was something wrong with the Pink Ladies

Control in what way? Spot checks?

Well to be quite honest I think everyone will be wondering what I'm wondering?

Therefore you have one over on us all.

It is not the first time you have left us wondering and I don't suppose it will be the last.

Regards

JD

Perhaps spot checks...perhaps quality control, perhaps mystery shopper exercizes?

We all moan, and that's the point of a forum.

But my beef with the last meeting isn't that the Berwick/Newcastle/Gladen issue is not important to those at the meeting, it's just that the issue doesn't deserve the huge amount of time it's taken up.

I ask everyone on here to go to their busiest rank tonight or tomorrow and ask the drivers there what trade issues/concerns they have. I guarantee that (other than in the Newcastle area) the Berwick/Newcastle/Gladen issue wont be in the top 1000 concerns.

The minutes of the first MoM indicated that other issues concerned reps at that meeting, none of them have been taken up.

Sussex.... every single year association's and unions make approaches to the Ministry of Transport over driver safety and many other issues..... all they ever get is spin..... we are trying another approach..... the meeting of minds is in its infancy... it has to learn and grow..... but.. it has to do it right.... and that will take time..... you're not planning on going anywhere are you

Maybe it needs a few killers in there then to sort things.
