Taxi Driver Online

Can anyone tell me what the difference is between a Saloon vehicle that has a hackney plate on the back and a Saloon vehicle that has a private hire plate on the back. And can anyone tell me what the difference is between a person who has hackney badge pinned on his chest and a person who has a private hire badge pinned on his chest?

One more question, can anyone tell me why saloon cars should be licensed as hackneys? To me they are both mini cabs albeit that one can pick up off the street and the other cant.

Answers on a postcard to Brighton licensing department.

About £40k in Brighton.

Dear Interested

whilst your ignorance is interesting, could I suggest to you that you yourself may be educated by asking brighton licensing yourself.

if they push you off nip down to Streamline and ask for Andrew Peters.

perhaps you could start a very difficult conversation by asking

Andy hows the cartel doing?

I think that is whats called overstepping the mark Geoff, even though I'm sure you would deny it was you.

I just found it intriguing why one should be called a Taxi and the other a Private hire vehicle, when at the end of the day thy are both saloon cars.

well apparently to get a taxi in Brighton you should give £40,000 this demonstreates commitment acording to local sources

so the private hire driver is committed but broke the taxi driver is committed but has a big loan.

and if you dare to comment in anyway about this you can be banned from exclusive forums that Andrew Peters is a member of.

private hire is the best in Brighton as through the cartel all ares are the same, so both take the same but the taxis have a whacking big loan.

this system is so attractive that leading drivers in Gateshead are rowing with cabinet to get the very same system up there.

and if Gatehead council even attempt to do it pigs will fly, as a result bacon will go up.

Nothing is the answer, apart from a significant number of one section of the trade sticking their hooters up to the other side of the trade.

But I believe there are a number of different types of license in B&H, you have:
Taxi owner/drivers
Taxi journeymen
Taxi owner/non-drivers

PH owner/drivers
PH journeymen
PH owner/non-drivers

There is also a sub-section of taxi owners:
Owners with station passes.
Owners without station passes.
Owners who must buy WAVs.
Owners who can buy saloons.

But the worst of the worst are those owners with station passes, and with the ability to buy saloons, who have never driven their vehicle or who have never taken a brief.

They are commonly called members of the B&H T&G Cab Section.

Strange then Sussex that a Vice Chair of the B&H branch of the T&G is a jockey driving a saloon without a station pass.

Kinda destroys your argument dunnit.

If you are talking about Dan he has left the trade and is now delivering parcels.
The chairman has also stopped driving and now works in one of the offices.

Another knowledge deficiency from Gateshead.

So the answer to one of my questions, is that there is no difference in saloon car vehicles for both Taxi and Private hire. Why then do most
saloon car Taxi drivers think they are better than saloon car private hire drivers, when both drive the same type of vehicle?

Beacause those living in the past drum it into them.
The journeymen are even worse.

They don't, its the PH driver who feels as though he/she is doing an inferior job, when in most cases PH drivers provide a better service than the HC driver. Particularly when they concentrate on getting the people they have taken out brought home instead of looking through the green eyes of envy at the queue at the rank.
