What is wrong with looking smart?, if you worked in a office, you would have to wear a shirt and tie.
Anything to improve our image in the eyes of the public can only be a good thing.


JD is obviously legally correct.

But, from what I am aware of, and from the way the business (in particular contract work) is going, the customer wants reasonably dressed drivers.

Whilst I would suggest a collar and tie is perhaps too much for most of us (I suppose it depends upon your clientele), is a poloshirt, clean shoes and clothing which could be considered workwear, not beyond the imagination?

I'm broadly in agreement. :D

That's twice in one night :shock:

If I worked in Dumbartonshire I wouldn't be kicking up a stink, dubiously legal or not. :roll:

I always have a good selection of string vests to choose from, they now come with differing hole sizes and a Paul Smith label. :wink:

I am a driver in the St.Andrews area and think first impressions count, I personally don't wear a tie but have one in the car if needed and wear Black trousers, black shoes and a white shirt. Havng done numerous pick-ups at Edinburgh Airport it shocks me to see what some drivers turn up wearing. Remember 1st impressions count and we are wanting to present a professional image
