Taxi Driver Online

Came across this. What a heap of garbage. Don't know what it's all about, and who it's aimed at. But looked professional enough, and it's a publication called Business Review. But the giveaway is maybe the publication's subtitle, which is 'Where Romania Talks Business'

Maybe it's aimed at drivers coming to the UK to work, but a bit late for that now, presumably

But apart from the obvious 'private hire taxi' clanger in the headline, some very odd stuff indeed. Some paragraphs on their own do make sense, but in the round the article is pretty bizarre. And some of it reads like it's aimed at passengers rather than drivers

Below are just a couple of the odder paragraphs, and the errors should be obvious. And, for a start, the British Isles includes the Republic of Ireland, while elsewhere in the article the reference is to the UK, which excludes the ROI

What You Need to Know About Private Hire Taxi Insurance in the UK

[...]What Exactly Is a Private Hire Taxi Insurance?

In the British Isles, private hire taxis are known as “black taxis.” They are typically used for business purposes and are widely available throughout London and other cities in the UK.[...]

[...]Who Should Get Private Hire Taxi Insurance?

Private hire car insurance is required for anyone driving a private vehicle. The definition of a private hire vehicle varies depending on the country, but it is usually a taxi, chauffeur-driven vehicle, or any other type of hire car.

Private hire drivers in the UK must carry private hire taxi insurance. The same rules cover them as professional drivers who use their vehicles commercially.

In addition to these professional drivers, some people who drive for a living may also need private hire taxi insurance to cover the cost of their business travel and equipment.[...]

Apart from the geographical clanger, I'd guess whoever wrote the piece is confusing and conflating 'taxi', 'private hire' and private motoring

Not the first to do so, and will not be the last.
