Don't understand why all you hackney drivers think Private hire drivers want to pick up off street. I don't wanna get involved in picking idiots up off the street who have not pre booked too much hassle.

Us hackney carriage drivers don't think u private hire drivers want to pick up of the street we have ample evidence of convictions to prove that many of you do. I'm not saying that you personally break the law but there are many that do and if you want video evidence of them picking up off the street i'll gladly supply it.

I don't for one minute think that you are that niave to think it doesnt happen so I have to wonder why you raised the point in the first place.

Best wishes

JD

There are good and bad in all. I just think Barnsley wanted to clarify that he/she was in the good bit.

As are the majority of taxi/PH.

Yeh the point I was trying to raise was that alot of HC drivers seem to think that all us Private hire are doing so because we can not afford a HC Licence. But in reality most of us prefer to work as PH. Your right alot of PH do break the law and pick up unbooked work but also I know for a fact that HC in our area hang around places were they know our pre booked work will be waiting and take it from us. So its a six a one half dozen of other thing.

And you are then in breach of those bloody bylaws you keep on about.

You should be ashamed. :wink:
