Taxi Driver Online

The Law Commission should have been at the Grand National this weekend, they would have seen how completely unenforceable their proposals regarding private hire and licensing officers really are, the racecourse is right on the boundary, so we had Liverpool hackney officers chasing Sefton private hire and Hackney's, and Sefton licensing officers chasing Liverpool private hire and Hackney's................ pulling them up left right and centre................ while 50,000 people were trying to go home.....

Yeah - those 80,000 minicabs in London must be wrong

theres about 80,000 minicabs in London working to a system now - in actual fact - I seem to think a LA could actually insist on the same system in the provinces already - the contract is between the passenger and the operator.

Toots... I think you will find that the private hire companies here advertise themselves as agents for the driver...... meaning the book stops with the driver

Taxi licensing would be an awful lot more simple if they just left it to me, of course in any new act they'd have to include the word c*nt, but that aside.....

All this because they suggested that the price has to be up front Thanks Mr T for explaining that which CC chose not to.

I think those private hire companies know little about contract law and even less about the 1976 act.......putting a few words on a contract with a driver doesn't derogate from their responsibilities.

I think it was the their contract lawyers that advise them to do so

Putting something in a Contract can't ever take precedence over legislation.

It is a sad day when large private hire companies can influence the making of a new act so that they can become the equivalent of the old mill owners of the 19th and 20th century... but I suppose money talks.... it certainly pays for good representation
