Or do you walk into the local PH office, listen to their phones ringing off the hook with work and sign up to an agreement to lease purchase a licence PH where you pay, say £100 a week, from your takings to the Operator. This deal allows you to walk away, surrendering the car at any time. And if you see out the three or four years you walk away with a car worth a couple of grand.
You are in a decent vehicle, on the road earning and able to walk away whenever you like.
Now I know what most guys in that position would choose. You are different. You resent anyone doing better than you out of the industry. That is beyond the rest of us.
I tell you what mind Tom, if you can walk into a PH office and walk out with a car insurance and radio fees for £100 a week I'll be there like a shot, if the phones are ringing off the hook then I'd only have to work 3 shifts a week.
In reality walking into a PH office will cost a new driver nearly £300 a week from their takings, thats an incredible £46,800 for three years and you say he'll have a car worth a couple of grand at the end of it.
Yipeeeeeeee

I said to lease purchase a car for £100 a week.
The circuit fees vary from £50-£180 a week around the country from my experience.
The guy on here I guess who pays the most is Steveo, if the 'Preece' PR machine is correct. And I seem to remember Steveo saying that he worked very sensible hours compared with most. He clearly feels he gets a return on his outlay. Would he rather be sat on the town rank in Plymouth saving himself 8 or 9 grand a year.
Now back to your first answer, you reckon 50% of the Hacks in Gateshead are truly indie. I would have a small wager with you. Most of those are driving the oldest most battered vehicles licensed in the town and quite possibly wouldn't be 'welcome' on the better circuits.
