Taxi Driver Online

There will be more if you manage to cap taxi numbers.
You lot will be the ones paying thousands for a survey with no guarantee of the outcome you want.
The Equality bill could make any cap worthless, and it's almost through parliament now.

Is the wrong something any better than nothing?

Here's the first thing your sound legal advice will tell you.

If you refuse to renew your licences, you won't have a legal leg to stand on. No court will grant an injunction which will extend your licence when you could have done so yourself by filling in the form and paying the renewal fee.
Come June 1st, you will all be operating without a licence.
That's a criminal offence under the CGSA 1982 .
It will also invalidate your insurance - another offence.
Conviction for either could also call in to question your fitness to hold a badge.

Aside from that, when you do re-apply, you will be making an application for the grant of a new licence, not renewing your existing licence.
If this difference is lost on anyone, it means that your taxi must conform with the regulations for a new licence - i.e. latest spec WAV and under the appropriate age for a new grant.

Your council will be duty bound to recover their plates from formerly licenced vehicles and as they belong to the council, you would be committing theft if you attempted to hold onto them.

Aye right enough CC, equality should only apply to certain sections of the population? What a fecking trumpet you are sometimes.

Disagree !!! 203020 were granted an interdict to halt the very same.

Maybe if some of the old guys in there late 60s and 70s were to retire and hand in there plates there would be a bit more work to go around, a lot of it boils down to greed and not wanting to let go, these older guys must have made a good living when times were better, so come on time to retire and take up some golf, thanks

Steve i agree but unfortunately a lot of them did not plan for retirement.Also allot of them see there plate as there pension.In a ideal world it would be good if they were forced to retire but at the moment there is no requirement for them to do that.

if a medical was required every 3 to 5 years might catch some of them out. through not fit proper to hold a badge

Listen Bud, I've had 4 £200 plus nights this week. I would normally expect 2. Who could have predicted that.

And what you've just shown is that you haven't got a scooby. We need peoiple to leave the market. Either through common sense or pain.

A cap, with false plate values, prevents that.

You've lost it CC. You haven't got a scooby.

Why don't you just admit it. You need a cap tp protect your illusion of being a "businessman".

Grow up!

Judicial review is the only way forward !

DCC have got to be exposed for all their dodgy dealings with one company.

My suggestion is to give the SNP time and support there is a real change in attitude coming from the licences committee and i believe that the SNP are really listen to our concerns.

If the trade keeps on supporting the SNP administration i am sure we will see a big change in the Dundee taxi trade.

Also all of you that have heard about fat sams central it is now closed.Working that area on Friday and Saturday night was like a breath of fresh air.

Did 203020 refuse to apply and pay for their renewals?

I heard they went to court to prevent the council revoking their licences on the grounds that the company which held them had gone bust....... and the company operating the cabs wasn't the one which held the licences.

Interdict or not, didn't they subsequently lose these licences?

You honestly expect the Scottish Nasty Party to sort this out?



You're as big a trumpet as tx-op.

I wondered how long it would take for you to start with your insults

And yes i do think the SNP will make a difference.They are a lot better than the raving loony party .

I cant believe you wondered that.....as soon as you made you're view on taxi numbers known you were a target.

As for 'Wee Jimmy Krankee', you can see how ignorant he is by his suggestions in this thread, what was the idea......



A suggestion of a feckwit, a person will presumably mothball their rather expensive vehicle too, and leave a profession they have invested time and effort into, to go into another?

ffs the guy doesn't even know that Easter is a busy time of the year for taxis and wonders why he's had 4 x £200 shifts this past week!

Putting a few large words into a post, or letter to a local paper makes people think he's got a brain, unfortunately he's only got a thesaurus.
