Taxi Driver Online

answer is

because the company owners can only offer their services cheap by employing cheap staff

i no i immigrant also but i had skill to offer when i arrive an i be here long time now

i notice british no want to drive cab but it not just because of bad customer is it

No it's because most brits want to earn unrealistic money and work a few days a week and then several days off living the life of Riley ! If you work hard there is still a living in this trade but not a great one In the days before we were flooded out with Asian drivers it was hard recruiting because most people expected to work 8 hours on a friday or saturday night and go home with 200 to 300 pounds in their back pocket. We are a lazy nation expecting too much and now the immigrant drivers have taken over and some of them will work for next to nowt

no it how i said it

op want blood from stone

brit no wanna work 80 hour for £200 after settle

this isnt a 3rd world country yet why behave like it is

In many areas the only way drivers can earn a good living is to work crazy crazy hours.

I think it's fair to say folks from abroad are more likely to work those crazy crazy hours than those home grown drivers.

thank you an dont forget an immigrant is so much easier to abuse as well

Two weeks ago we had one foreign driver who'd clocked up over 100 hours logged on and working, this didn't include his drive to and from Derby every day, you can add ½ an hour each way for his travelling X 7 days a week.

He's going to kill someone if the Council don't do something about the excessive hours worked by these foreign drivers on a weekly basis.

Imo the foreign drivers choose this trade as it is unskilled and still quite easy to enter even with the requirement of a Btec and DSA test. Also with few checks on all aspects it's easy to abuse as well. Operators are opportunists who also like to abuse the system and scream loudly if others suggest that things should be tightened up. As they say 'the squeakiest wheel'.......

They do it because it's the only work they can do. When a Pakistani comes into this country they aren't allowed to work but, they can be self employed which opens up a new window of claiming from the state.

looks like i getting banned soon so i leave this fact

this thread writen to highlight how foreign driver is taken advantage of by greedy brits and also to highlight how normal average brit is swept aside as trash an no required as he may say something that greedy no like an get sack he also no that fare is now so low vs cost of living it no worth being cabby anymore

nidge is corect also as imigrant can only take self employ job when arive here more silly rule to protect the cream an dump on cabby an builder

goodbye all an thank some of you for you good coments the other can go take a jump on own finger and twist for all i care

Not so sure about that many are very clued up as to their rights and entitlements and pull the race card at the slightest provocation BUT if it's a business run by immigrants they are able to fet away with it especially if the labour is "illegal" and can't go to the authorities and complain

I think it's fair to say that with the recent immigrants they don't care how long they work for, they send the money home where their family is, it goes a lot further. A lot of them are here to work and work only. I guess it's the same as working on ships or oil rigs etc, away for so long and home for so long. They bunk in together keeping costs down then go home to enjoy their earnings

Goodbye and good riddance you pathetic troll (and for the record we never fell for the "i from brasil" [edited by admin])

They arent ALLOWED to work but often they come here cos their own countrymen use them for slave labour, work permit or not
