Taxi Driver Online

Something like this will do.

Not quite wallet sized though is it?

That is not strictly true!

What you should do is to turn it into a civil matter! You show the driver that you have the means to pay i.e show him/her the cash, identify yourself i.e bank card/driving license.........and leave your address. In turn take his/her details i.e badge number, cab number and cab registration number + company if applicable!!!! That will frighten the dooby out of most of them, because you are clearly demonstrating that you know what you are doing - if they are not kosher in their dealings, you will NOT hear anything more about it.

i reported him this morning when i paid my radio money, told them when i phone for a taxi don't send any of them ethnics to my door

LOL!! you want to try and do that in stoke - you'd never get a taxi!

i noticed this once on a holiday in Coventry, it was walking past the rank just down from the transport museum and every taxi had a Asian driver, it took me by surprise cause 95% of drivers in my area are white-Scottish

At the rate they're going, they'll kill their passengers and other innocent bystanders as well!

the trade round here is dead already, killed by government policies and no employment; there's virtually no "ethnic" p/h drivers round here, though a few Afghans and Gurkhas in Folkestone. The trade here has been killed by newcomers coming in and charging stupidly low prices.

If the daughter walked away because he'd charged her £13 for a £6 job she's well within her rights to walk away without prosecution. That's what I tell the punters to do round here, if they feel they've been overcharged the law is on their side more than the drivers.

Offence for overcharging £1,000 fine or 4 weeks in prison it's classed as theft.

When I was overcharged by a driver (twice) On each occasion I paid the fare and got a receipt and the drivers details. I reported the incidents to the licencing department and I received a cheque from the company that the driver worked for. The cheque was not for the sum overcharged but for the total fare in both cases. The licensing department now have a record of the incidents in case anyone else makes a complaint. Simples.

if you knew it was overcharged why did you pay it???? on principal and not looking like a chump I would tell the driver to go [edited by admin] himself..I have never been ripped off in a cab because I will not allow myself to be...seems a more direct way of dealing with it

depends on the circumstances.......why ruin a good evening by confrontation?

i love a good confrontation especially when im right ...but there wouldnt be a confrontation he would have the right fare and i would walk away...why let people take the [edited by admin]

lol people are different, I personally wouldn't - I'd probably do the same as grandad
