Taxi Driver Online

what happened to my post ??

Code?

Yikes, the Russians are on TDO!

I think the council up there should make the PH plates bigger or the same size as the hacks, FFS they are no bigger than a king sized fag packet.
On quite a few occasions i have followed a PH and cannot even read the writing on the plate even being right behind one at the lights, and before anyone says I should have gone to speck savers I have been

Skippy ! I think you are mistaken the midlothian PH plates as Edin PH

Ross, do you remember when, and by your own admission, you claimed to be homophobe, a racist and a bigot?

Is there anything else you would like to add? It rhymes with racist . . . .



Can you account for your whereabouts the night this heinous crime took place?





I've got to say I've always wondered about you Ross, you have that look about you . . . .

NO I'm not I dropped at the airport Hilton tonight and there was one in front of me, the plate was about 8 inches by 4 inches, stuck below the number plate with City of Edinburgh on it number 226

think you will find that PH companys will kick out anyone caught picking up from the street and thats been the case with the company i work with



and PH are not your having a laugh



oh yes thay are and your guess is as good as mine why she did it
PH driver have the same police checks as Taxi drivers and i think that CEC have to look at how you tell the diff between a normal car and a PH car and they need to hit the ones who think that thy can work the streets hard as this incident hits people like myself who work within the rules this is a issue that both trades , CEC and cab office have to look at together.
would you agree if PH had "this car can only be pre booked" and also the company name and fleet number would be the way forward



well it has happened ross thats my point the facts are that serious assaults are rare in edinburgh but they do happen. you know as well as me that drivers of both taxi and PH have had there badges suspended after false alligations as for a partition you think thats going 2 stop someone doing wrong mmmmmm nope

you make out that some in the PH trade are up to no good
well you have been around long enough to know there are some in the taxi trade that are up to no good as well

Three attempts at it and three failures !!! Radios, interior plates and then exterior plates !! And I disagreed with everyone !!!! Give them an inch and they'll want a mile!!!
When a punter phones for a PH give them a job number, if the driver doesn't give that number on arrival. don't get in the car !! That simple !!

Disclosure scotland for evrybody !!

Why has this got anything to do with the taxi trade and why is the word taxi used at all.

She claims to have confused a private hire car with a private car,so lets keep the distinction between taxis and private hire cars clear.

If it looks like a taxi,purpose built is preferable in my opinion, has a for hire light and has a licence plate fore and aft then it is a taxi, all these other things are just a poor imitation, why the taxi trade has to also have it's reputation besmirched by these things is beyond me.

It can be really hard to deal with these things with this infantalised nation of ours but in Edinburgh with it's own cctv version of the eye of horus or whatever it's meant to be, probably shouldn't pose to many problems for our authorities to sort these things out.

Drop some litter or a cigarette end and the eye of horus automatically chucks out a fixed penalty notice, serious stuff and the eye of horus suddenly develops macular degeneration, funny that don't you think!

I was recently the subject of the council/horus eye whilst filling the cab one morning, couldn't help wondering what possible threat a taxi driver filling his cab up with diesel could pose!

Quite funny though, it was the light reflecting of the glass cover as the operator swivelled the camera in my direction that made me aware of it, but when I looked at the eye of horus it quickly moved away, a kind of can't look you in the eye moment before once again homing in on it's quarry.

It's nothing to do with paranoia but I do find the constant observation of my life very irritating, perhaps the United Nations committee on human rights could set them straight on that as well, the pendulum has swung too far.

Working people are not the enemy, whoever the enemy is, it's our money right?

And what about homophobes, racists and bigots? Should they be allowed to drive taxis?


In the interests of diversity I would say yes,otherwise how can they claim it is diversity! because under this model of politically correct pap we are being forced to accept, it's far to easy for these things to be created as a weapon against people who hold an opinion that differs from the sanitised, infantalised version on offer from big brother/Mother.

In some instances not saying anything just adds to the promotion of all these diversified groups, my diversity doesn't count though does it, infact I don't have one and if I did I would suspect that it would be classed as morally reprehensible.

In the days before we were forced to fawn over all these groups things seemed okay to me, there is good and bad within all these groups, just the same as your average undiversified working person really.

yea you would dissagree with anything to do with PH ross nothing new there cant see how you get 3 failures and you would disagree with anything non taxi related
"Give them an inch and they'll want a mile!!!" sounds a bit like the taxi trade as well just get used to it ross the PH trade is here to stay and there are more good guys on PH than you and other would make out



well when i go for a job i have a name and destination and if the punter does not give me the same details that are on my unit they dont get in its that SIMPLE as you put it works a bit like a taxi if i pulled up outside lets say "why not" at spill out time and said "job 234" i would get about 50 "thats me mate" and all hell would break out


iam all for that ross bring it on if you have nothing to hide you have no problem.

The chances are it probably wasn't a private hire vehicle. If it was then it certainly wasn't a pre booked private hire vehicle because she would have known which firm she booked it from?

On the evidence submitted so far, it is obvious to me, if not to anyone else, that this lady got into a car knowing full well she hadn't pre booked the vehicle, therefore regardless of whether or not she thought it was a private hire vehicle, she should have known better. If she didn't know better,.............. then she certainly knows better now.

Verdict, lack of common sense.
