Maidstone taxi drivers ‘banned from wearing Hawaiian shirts’



You’d think what they wear is irrelevant as long as they get you where you want to go safely.

But taxi drivers could be banned from wearing certain clothing – and there’s a distinctly summer theme to the list.

Out will go Hawaiian shirts, vests, crop tops and mini-skirts if a council’s attempt to smarten the images of its cabbies gets the green light.

Flip-flops, sports shorts, clothing that is ‘too colourful’ and anything exposing the midriff is also on the black list.

‘The purpose of a driver’s dress code is to seek a minimum standard of dress that provides a positive image of the Hackney carriage and private hire trade,’ the council’s report states.

‘It must enhance a professional image of licensed drivers and ensure public and driver safety is not compromised.’

‘Acceptable clothing’ includes dress shirts, tops covering the shoulders and footwear that ‘fits around the heel’.

The dress code, which Maidstone borough council is due to vote on this month, has not gone down well in the Kent town.

‘If the council think they can tell me what to wear, they can think again,’ taxi driver Steven Hunt said.

‘In the summer, I’m in shorts and a T-shirt and a pair of sandals that are suitable for driving.

‘I’m not going to be driving about in the sweltering heat in a shirt and tie.’

So if a minicab firm wants to start up calling themselves Hawaii 5 0 cars - with all their drivers in Hawaiian dress - this rule will ban it?

excellent - so we will now pay council officials to scrutinise how drivers dress - we will further pay for councils to draw up a list of acceptable attire and in due course pay for committee hearings and appeals. These are the same councils who dream up age limits - convictions policies - ignore illegal plying and touting.
