As it stands at the moment, thanks to everyones opinions on this debate, i
feel i have an idea where the trade will be in five to ten years time.But it is my veiw and like everybody else it is JUST my opinion and in all honesty nobody is for sure where the trade is ultimately going.
What i ask is why can't we have two KNOWLEDGE tests.One for Private hire who are in contact with a radio if lost and then an harder test for Hackneys who might not have the help of a radio.If we had proper knowledge tests what percentage of drivers do you know would actually get off their buts and work hard enough to pass a test. This would prevent the trade from being flooded with drivers.
Of course this won't happen but there ya go,i'd still like your opinions on this though.
chris mate,
for the first time in four decades our industry is in decline, give it another decade and we as a trade will be gone.
I dont know exactly where you are comming from but let me tell you satelite navigation gets better by the week.
