GA about 16 years ago I took an advanced driving test, along with an obstacle course that covered judging the width of the gap in relation to the vehicles width from 200 yards and you had to just drive without stopping 1 inch either side :D then maneuver around cones forward and back emergency braking without hitting the examiner, feck missed again :lol: and loads more maneuvers
then a 1 hour driving assessment, they only thing that I was doing slightly wrong was instead of griping the gear selector over the top i griped it as if pulling the arm of a slot machine
other than that I passed


Skippy ................ how many accidents have you had in the last 16 years?

Sometimes when learning the benefits of some actions or requests are not immediately identifiable.

I'm sure your a good driver .................. at least I'm sure you consider yourself to be a good driver (as I do) .................. but would you put your skills to the test .................... as "taxis" did ..................... and then have the honesty to publish the fact you were taking the test and then the balls to come on and tell everyone you'd failed.

B. Lucky :D

Maybe you'd consider that links to a website, shown on your website, to be worthy of so much protection ......................... I just fail to see the signifigance or understand the magnitude of your actions.


If you bothered to read the post for a change you'd realise that the links were irrelevant to what went on, and it was your mate who went off at the deep end, and that happened well before I realised that he'd copied my links page.

I only found out when I looked at his website and in any other context might not even have mentioned it, but since he helped himself to other stuff and then threw a wobbly then I thought it worth mentioning.

But I suspect you knew that anyway, but nothing like trying to stir things a bit, as per the vast majority of what you post :lol:

If he was suspected of removing site content, or material that was unique to this site then I would understand .............. but come on, its only links to other sites which he could have put on his own site without having to consult you first anyway.


Yes, but he blatantly copied the descriptions word for word, which is lazy and unscrupolous if you ask me.

And it had nothing to do with his tantrum in any case.

Again I'm critised for asking for explanation for the administrative actions of this site ...................... am I next to be banned :wink: for daring to question.


Well you're obviously always trying to be banned, presumbly so you can play Mick the Martyr to your buddies.

After all you seem to contribute little else :oops:

The "witch-hunt" mentality of certain members of this forum will to this forums detriment .............................. to ridicule a fellow taxi-driver for showing initiative and trying to improve his skills and therefore the level of service he offers his customers is absolutely appauling.



A bit rich coming from the Matthew Hopkins of taxi forums :lol:

If he's being ridiculed it's because of his overreaction to a polite request, and indeed your own contribution is just making it worse for him IMHO.

I actually quite admired his stance on the DSA test, and am sorry that he didn't pass, but just as I was about to make a contribution to the thread he'd deleted most of it :sad:

You take yourself to seriously ............... and have a false sense of the importance of your website.

Didn't miss it Gusmac ................ I just wondered what the 4 documents were .............. maybe you know what they are, but I still don't.

Do you know ............ perhaps you'd care to tell us.
