So what is the gripe with the proposal to make it standard for a 3 year drivers license and a five year operators license? Both of these are allowed under the current legislation on some councils prefer to do a 1 year drivers license and a 2 year operators license. |

Providing all the 'fit and proper' drivers are actually 'fit and proper' as well as honest enough to let the council know whenever they do anything wrong, nothing. |

Lets have the same standards across the board. there is nothing to stop a council checking a drivers driving license whenever they want. There is nothing to stop a council checking the insurance whenever they want and there is nothing to stop a council from checking the condition a vehicle up to 3 times a year. So why should say a driver who has been doing the job for 10 years without any blemishes on his drivers license have to have a council license for 1 year when the law permits 3 years? My passport runs for 10 years and my driving license runs until I am 70 but my Council license is for just 1 year. |

I still shake my head in disbelief at the utter ineptitude in the way most of the national taxi/ph trade have handled the three taxi/ph issues in the dereg bill. One so called leader, who doesn't post on TDO, told me personally he had no problem with two of the three issues. How many more are of that opinion but haven't got the balls to say that at the top table? On here has been posted comments from some of our so-called reps in their response to the LC, which differ from their responses to the DfT. How on earth can anyone take these people seriously. It's far too late for amendments but sensible ones could have been proposed at an early stage, but all we hear and read is no no no. |
