Did you tell the LO that you were on your phone taking a booking and you didn't know how long it would take?

I bet you didn't tell your LO exactly what you were doing, and if you were hanging off the back of the rank waiting for some asshole to get off his phone, you'd be round at the LO's complaining about that too.

Yer an arse.

The model byelaws adopted by each area are broadly the same in respect of the following;

7. The driver of a hackney carriage shall, when plying for hire in any street and not actually hired -

(a) proceed with reasonable speed to one of the stands appointed by the Council;

(b) if a stand, at the time of his arrival, is occupied by the full number of carriages authorised to occupy it, proceed to another stand;

(c) on arriving at a stand not already occupied by the full number of carriages authorised to occupy it, station the carriage immediately behind the carriage or carriages on the stand and so as to face in the same direction; and

(d) from time to time, when any other carriage immediately in front is driven off or moved forward cause his carriage to be moved forward so as to fill the place previously occupied by the carriage driven off or moved forward.

Penalties

18. Every person who shall offend against any of these byelaws shall be liable on summary conviction to a fine not exceeding Level 2 on the Standard Scale and in the case of a continuing offence to a further fine not exceeding two pounds for each day during which the offence continues after conviction therefor.


UK standard scale

Level 1 £200
Level 2 £500
Level 3 £1,000
Level 4 £2,500
Level 5 £5,000

we have one here who leaves his car on the rank for half an hour and nips down to gangsta cabs office for a coffee nothing is ever done aboutit. Mr excuses has always got a reason why it isn't the LO's job to deal with it :roll:
