popped round to see one of my ex drivers yesterday for a chat and catch up. They told me about an incident which I hadn't read about in the papers involving an electric car belonging to the company that bought me out.
They had put an electric car on the road and the driver had parked at the back of the rank. As the cars moved forward he put his foot on the accelerator but had put it into the wrong mode and the vehicle shot forward straight into the taxi in front with enough force to concertina 4 taxis ! The driver of the one 3 in front was by his open door doing something and got knocked over and slightly injured. It was mostly crunched bumpers and so the owner decided to repair all the vehicles without going through the insurance but I don't know if the driver kept his job.
I also found out the last of my drivers still working for them has left as they always feed their split purse drivers and give the owner drivers very little work.
I shall have to ask around if anyone has any photos
