This is getting stupid ..... Delta has Sefton plated private hire vehicles parked up all over Liverpool on streets and roads, in some places they are 3 or four or five together.. so why does Liverpool not prosecute them...... because they can't.... they are doing nothing wrong

I know..... and doesn't it make you ashamed to think that this is all he knows after taking his NVQ.... I get the feeling that he was driving a taxi in London when the Zeppelin's were flying overhead

Funny thing about touting..... we made a Freedom of Information request regarding how many convictions had taken place since it was introduced... which was a long long time ago... and was surprised to be told that they have only had six .
and to get a conviction it has to be proved that you have approached a person or individuals asking them did they require a taxi... or similar words....

Mr London Uncensored displays all the characteristics of a troll, but ironically seems to have managed the grate (sic!) feat of uniting all sides of the TDO debate against him

Characteristics of a troll maybe, but characteristics of a London cabby's 'nothing happens outside of the M25' and the 'we know best' attitude, most certainly.

That said he is entitled to believe what he wants, even if no-one else shares that view.

I do believe London U is correct in this,

The way I see it with those door stickers on a PHC sat in proximity of a target rich enviroment is touting in the same way leaving your mobile phone on show and unattended in a pub is, you're relying on people to be honest when not all are and a lot of the time it's no surprise illegal activities take place,

Just before I started the PHC was only allowed to have a card with the company name in the sunvisor or dashboard when waiting for a genuine pick up, that was replaced with full screen windows banners and now since the windscreen laws changed the door signs, but in reality a privately booked car should be just that, what is required is to find a workable solution that identifies the PHC to it's booking customer and nobody else, I could add some more about the real reason touting is such a problem but I'll just get slammed for it, it's always gone on and to a degree wasn't the problem it is now when there were just a handful of gamblers doing it, but it's got to the stage where many PHD's actually think it's their right to intercept ranks and tout, some even think it's not illegal.

That's not a comment in tune with the thread; It's an opinion and no less than personal attack !
And from a moderator.....ZZZZZzzzzzzzz.

And you know what they say about opinions
