Can't be much of a challenge getting a badge down your way. Let any c*nt have a badge and you have a recipe for disaster.

Get your council to bring in decent standards - knowledge test, DSA driving test, spoken English etc.
That's where your problem lies, not with the number of cabs. A "desperate immigrant" wouldn't get a badge here - not even a PH badge.

Limit hacks and they will share cabs 24/7 or drive PH and work illegally. No limit on hack plates will stop them and you're kidding yourself if you think it will.

and thats how doom got his badge
low standards in his LA

Yes, Aberdeen.

Interesting statistic I found today.
Since the last limit was lifted 3 years ago, there are 60 more taxis in Aberdeen. 975 against 915
That's 20 a year, guys. Not a huge increase for a city with a thriving economy.
Taxi driver badge numbers have increased by well over 200 in the same period.

Now tell me where the increase in competition has come from. :roll:
