Attention all you young Party people out there, top tip for your safety on New years eve, when getting into a taxi instead of taking selfie photos start a new trend, take a photo of the taxi driver / plate / badge that is displayed in the cab and send it to your Mum or Dad, GENUINE drivers will understand & Bogus taxi drivers will not pounce if they know you have sent a photo to some one

That would go down well with some drivers on here.

happened to me few times, once I remember was teenager (17/18) drunk and pictures taken of me, my car , my plate, my badge and fu..k knows what else cos she's a bit tipsy and her company need to know who is she with.... and after about two miles I had a bigest shot of sick in my history in my car... should I take pictures of her, my car interior and fu..k knows what else? not very nice conversation with doughter's father, police involved... quick explanation, why dad has to pay £20 fare plus £80 soiling fine and not even simple word "sorry".... but pictures taken, she's fuc..in safe...

are you not taking a leap of faith in the honesty of the picture taker ?

For instance if punter gets in gets to the other end gets aggressive and arsey about the fare next thing you know your mug is all over the internet whilst punter takes "revenge" denouncing you as a rip off cabbie /ph warning people not to use you ?

It could happen :sad:
