I have only recently got my badge and am wary of falling foul of the law. On two occasions recently I have been asked for rides having just dropped passengers outside bars. I have merely said to the customer, office number is on the side of the car, ring them from your mobile and the job should get to me. I haven't even allowed the customer into the vehicle until the job came through. Everyone seemed happy!

If they have approached you, and you have merely informed them of your office number, then you are ok.

If when they ring your firm you get the job, via the normal booking procedure, then you are ok.

How they despatch, or in what order they allocate work, is down to the firm themselves.

I think the law should say you have to do the list system as were I work when a the public who don't know the law approach a ph thinking its a taxi now after all the undercover police stings the ph firms are telling there drivers to tell the person to ring the firm an tell them a driver is there so the ph driver takes the job an with every ph firm being £3 anywere around town the people are doing that instead of taking a hackney as our fares are set by the council,
Just to let you know the snow fares wernt our fault as the council changed the fares so the reason we didn't use them was because our meters wernt updated the council an peter seal have appoligised to us .
