About to get my taxi badge in Dundee, i done the training course with 203020 which means im tied to them for a year. No really sure how things are going to work, they are saying they will try and sort me out with a car,If they dont have a car available for me to use does that mean i cant drive for anybody else?

Why do you say that you are tied to them? I don't think that, even if they have paid for your badge etc, that they can legally enforce any such condition.

It says that if i dont engage with the company or go to work for another firm, i would be liable to pay £1200 for the cost of the training, can this be enforced, if they dont have a cab for me, surley ill be able to drive elsewhere.

With your license you can drive any cab that your insured for.

But reading the doom and gloom up there, methinks you might not be earning bundles.

But I wish you well any way.

If they can't supply you with a cab, that, IMO, that would be a 'restraint of trade'.

The Contract ain't worth $hit kid...going show me a Tribunal that would disagree....
