Taxi Driver Online

Why if the university of life is so good do we bother training anybody for anything? You have a very blinkered view of things IMO. However like me you are entitled to your opinion and I respect that. On that I think it wise to agree to disagree

The university of life is the best it gives you actual hands on experience in all fields and has made me the marvellous person i am today unlike the expensive btec garbage which you bleat on about

Self praise is no recommendation and as I said it's best we just agree to disagree, ok

Yep ok Btec for new drivers but not forced on fantastic experienced ones
at rediculous expense with corruption so there

I prefer the golf course keeps me super fit and looking like a GREEK GOD

Like Zeus, although he was the god who ruled Olympus and its divine denizens, he was subject to the laws of Fate and was not in fact all-powerful.

The duffer muffed his tee shot into the woods, then hit into a few trees, then proceeded to hit across the fairway into another woods. Finally, after banging away several more times, he proceeded to hit into a sand trap.

All the while, he'd noticed that the club professional had been watching.

"What club should I use now?" he asked the pro.

"I don't know," the pro replied. "What game are you playing?"

Your daughter would leave Uni with no qualification if she doesn't pass her exams. From what I gather, these qualifications are given to everyone who completes the course.

What is the worth of a qualification which no one fails, other than to those who provide it?



Who decides what is needed and how do they come to this conclusion?

What evidence is there that all drivers who complete these courses become better taxi drivers?

\are you sure your'e not loppylugs back under another name?

You're quite right if my daughter doesn't pass her exams she will not be able to do the job she wants to do. She works hard to attain the required skills and knowledge to become a science teacher. If she doesn't come up to scratch and regardless of how much it has cost she won't be able to do the job. There are standards she has to meet that have been laid down by qualified people within the field that she has chosen to study.

It is my belief that taxi driver training should be written by qualified people who have knowledge and experience of the trade. It is also my belief that if you don't pass the course then you shouldn't be able to do the job until you do pass a course. I also believe that the burden for financing the course should be that of the wanna be taxi driver.

The course should include all aspects of passenger transport in a taxi inc such things as the Legislation, applying for badges, plates etc. tendering for contracts, DDA, Dft, Driving abilities, health & safety, basic car maintenance, topography to name but a few of the subjects.

I believe all new drivers should do this before they attain a badge and existing drivers should be given a reasonable time to get these qualifications to bring them into line with all new drivers.

I believe that if a driver has completed the course but then gets a complaint against him/her they should be warned that any further complaints will result in having to resit the course, this should help with a quality control of drivers.

This is likely to pi$$ off most current drivers especially those that think they are God incarnate, but, it is only my opinion and I don't think I should be hung, drawn and quartered for expressing an opinion

I believe its ok for new drivers optional for existing ones money saved can go on something far more worthy like life saving cancer drugs or cctv
for taxis

If you think that CCTV is so valuable an asset to taxi drivers then put your hand in your pocket and pay for it like all other businesses do

I have cctv in my cars best investment i made just thinkin about other poor souls who cant afford them being at is risk of all types of scumbags

I see your point, but, I don't agree that it should be given free to one half of the trade and not the other
