You are probably not seeing any illegal pick ups given that parking has been decriminalised.


So hackney cabs can pick up on Zebra Crossings, box junctions, Outside Schools?

No they can't, but your concern should be directed at the authorities who aren't enforcing the law.

They will be, once I find out where taxi cabs cannot pick-up from.

I can pick up from anywhere I like. However, in doing so I could be totally OK in doing it; I could be in contravention of the Traffic Management Act 2004; I could be in contravention of various Road Traffic Acts; I could be in contravention of Anti-terrorism legislation; I could be trespassing upon private land.

What I am not doing is acting illegally until such time as I have been proven to at court.

How many laws did you break when you called my esteemed colleague an 'arrogant pr1*k?' Certainly, the first one would be a law of the English language: The word you were searching for is spelled 'P-R-I-C-K.' Being one yourself, I would have thought you would have known that!

I don't imagine such a list exists, so get your anorak on and go find out for yourself. Feel free to post your findings.

I'll help you get started.

    Taxis may not pick up from a runway of any major airport or the pitch at any football stadium.

Perhaps everyone else could contribute equally helpful suggestions? :badgrin:

Taxis may not pick up from platform 9 3/4 because it doesn't exist, unless you're a total wanke# with little life.

:D
