Why would you want to??

Surely the system ensures that the closest vehicle gets the fares??

Seems rather deceitful lying about your location to get jobs which are rightfully the jobs of cars in that area.

Not that I care, never worked a circuit. :lol:

Have to agree.
Doing this is greed and it's stealing from your mates. [-X

Obviously Bily boy isn't a good honest cabby like the rest of us. Wouldn't like to have a problem and wait for Bily boy to come and bail me out as it sounds like to me he'd be too busy trying to find a quick job before he came to your aid. [-X

The tin foil thing is meant to work, but most systems are set up to log drivers off if a signal isn't sent or received after a short while.

I think the best bet is for you to get rid of your radio.

I can't see the point of trying to cheat the system either but as with any network there will be cheaters even on a radio net you get "Long Bonnets" that say they are closer to a job than they are. :twisted:

Why you would travel excess miles to get to a job that a car was closer to is beyond me. I suppose it's just greed

Pretty sure the new Auriga system can pick out iffy controllers with ease.

And if the boss doesn't do anything about it then defo leave and join another operator.
