It is so good to be in Plymouth.

Particularly when they can't be bothered to include us in updates.

No immediate Suspensions here.

You know that Deregulation Act? It has no effect on us. :roll: :roll: =D> =D>

Read the french laws which states that they are required to return to their garage after every job....

I have not yet located the UK laws on this...but it exists !

As for Insurance being the same ...It's Not the same...local authorities across the UK prosecute drivers for not having valid insurance when they (ph) pick up unbooked jobs...so IF you think its the same insurance and they are insured maybe you should advise the drivers and stop them from getting prosecuted, fined and having points on their licences !

Yes, you can buy cheaper vehicles for Hackneys BUT these are second hand vehicles...so IF no one bought a new HC such as TX4's where would the second hand ones come from ?

Can i also ask all to stop name calling as it doesn't serve any purpose...I can also do it !

here we go again so tell me how is it going to work when 500 or more taxis descend on the ranks and block the streets causing gridlock ?

How do you integrate fleets in towns and cities with an all WAV policy ?

will PH drivers be happy to upgrade their insurance to public hire and pay higher premiums ?

Will councils have enough resources to deal with issues that might result such as former PH drivers not understanding the concept of a maximum table of fares

Will PH firms be happy to no longer be in control of their fare scales ?


And your answer to the problem is ??????????
