In the absence of an exemption certificate, I was wondering if anyone could offer what might be deemed a reasonable excuse for not carrying a blind working dog?

Regards

In the absence of an Exemption Certificate - NO! Although a Doctors Certificate along with associated paperwork for applying for an excemption cert might prevent prosecution for as long as Exem Cert is granted.

Apart from an allergy or a fear of dogs, I don’t think so, but I think it should be a requirement to have some sort of throw-over for the seats and carpet for the dog to sit on.

I like dogs and have one myself but I don’t like the idea of someone getting into a taxi or a Ph after a smelly wet dog has made his presence felt.
:wink:

Our LA state that the dog must be on the floor of the taxi and not on the seats. If the dog gets on the seats and makes a mess you can charge a soiling charge, even if it is a working dog.

In legal terms is there a legitimate excuse other than an exemption certificate?

Is there any Law's regards restraining a dog in a Taxi? Do they have to wear a harness onto the seatbelt or is this choice? Or is this the driver just looking for a way out of the fare that they don't want?

I love dogs and as mine travel in the cab can't see any reason why someone elses shouldn't; but whilst in the the New Forest A couple of weekends ago I left my car at a Pub and walked back to my hotel dog in hot pursuit and could not find a local cab company that would take me and my faithful hound back to my car the next morning! Just being annoying I rang a local vet and asked if they could arrange a taxi for me and my dog and got a long silence before a "it might be best if you arrange transport" :?

Aren't there any other dog owning cabbies on here?

I have a dog and he's sh-it scared of getting in vehicles, last time I took him in my cab he decorated the interior with sh-ite. :?
