Taxi Driver Online

Are Bradford Taxis and Privat hire vehicles safe for women? This question must be raised because there is a further allegation of Rape against a Bradford driver. I suspect the majority of drivers in Bradford are Asian because all the recent allegations and convictions have been against Asian Drivers. Is there a culture among Asian men that women are subserviant and therefore they think it gives them the right to violate a women?

Whatever the reason for this spate of attacks on women, Bradford's Taxi and Private hire industry certainly has a serious image problem.

I think the problem is that all the time people get away with things, then those things will keep happening.

But as the story on TDO says, when the council are 5 LOs down, then something has to give.

but what the TD story misses is that cover for enforcement officers in West Yorkshire is provided by the police.

I wonder if that's the reason the quality of some drivers is so low?

I thought that the accountability of police lay within the Polie Authority, or even Police Authority!!! with guidelines issued by the Home Office and nothing to do with half-baked local councillors who are then crowing on about crime figures !!!!

well you thought wrongly didnt you?
are you saying police cannot act in licensing matters? are you saying that licensing isnt interlinked in crime?

are you saying in these cases that licensing and rape are not connected?
appart from clever arse comments what are you saying?

I think that both the police and the council should be part of the licensing system. Especially, as happens quite regulary in Bradford, when the bad apples slip through.
