POLICE IN CAB ADVICE
12:00 - 03 December 2003
Plymouth: Police have warned clubbers to make sure they use properly licensed and marked cabs after a Plymouth woman mistakenly got into a private car she thought was a taxi. The woman got into the silver Ford Mondeo after leaving a club at about 2.20am on Sunday.
After a short distance the woman became aware that she was not travelling in a taxi and got out.
Police have stressed that in this case the driver did not make any improper suggestions or act illegally, but are warning people to make sure they use marked and licensed taxis.

thankfully not a repeat of the Wakefield tragedy last weekend. but could easily of ended with something happening to the woman. about time the new london touting laws were extended UK wide i think.
