If the scheme is approved, all new taxis would have to have CCTV from April 2012 next year, and existing cars would have to fit it by 2015.


Given the time scale to fit these in vehicles I don't see the problem. They complain about the lack of income and then threaten to strike on their busiest nights :?

Where have they got £400 from? There are good systems out there for less than £200.

Strange that in Oxford they can pay up to £100,000 for a plate, but the world is going to end if they pay £400 to save their live or their livelihood.

Still it just confirms that there are thick drivers everywhere not just in my manor.
