I agree. So give me the licence I'm entitled to and let me compete your ass out of the market :lol:

So, competition is healthy just as long as it doesn't bite your bum?

Only the taxi trade gets to limit competition.

You couldn't compete on your best day. In fact, that's the reason why you're in the trade in the first place. Because you failed at something else and bought the illusion you could be a big charlie taxi boss, with a licence that the council ensures comes with a bonded cabbniggr; because it doesn't allow the slaves access to their own licence, just to protect you.

Derestriction can be a disaster wherever quality controls are not in place. like Dublin for instance, which we've always known about.

But not in the nation's largest metropolis - London. It works a treat. The cabbies are professional, highly regarded and widely respected, all while charging handsomely for their professional services.

Yet Dundee's mentality and yours, is to descend to the lowest common denominator and hope the customers will come back. Well, with the quality expressed by those on this forum, rather than come back, the customers are more likely to take a bus, a train, bike or even just walk rather than use a taxi.

And who can blame them? All that appears in the press is inter trade bickering, wild claims of criminality and falsely reported stories confusing private hire drivers as cabbies.

perhaps what we need is a new night of the passover where a beneficient grim reaper casts his power over the homes of the tumshies in our trade like you Artur, and disappears them.

Then the rest can really compete to win back the hearts and minds of those taxi customers you've lost in your drive to raise prices and lower standards.

:roll:

One thing is for sure Skull. You wouldn't be able to work in the taxi trade now even if there was deristriction.

Your forgetting your license has been REVOKED

So jasbar you're going to completely ignore the situation in Dundee and instead link it to a metropolis like London.

Your only interest is self interest.

You got a free plate or plates and sold them on. Just be quiet because no one takes you seriously.

Guzzie you've shown what you are......

Does anyone doubt that the Cab inspector, his staff, and beat officers are a taxi driver's best friend?

Isn't it true that without the discipline injected into the process by these valued officials, then cabbies denied access to their own licence plate, to protect vested interests and to the detriment of the public who are unable to hail a cab when they want one and thereby placing them at undue personal safety risk, would be driving buckets?

Even new vehicles need to be checked. Because there are a lot of owners who don't, and don't care. It's the driver who picks up the penalty points for worn tyres, defective lights and other simple faults.

How is it that drivers who wouldn't tolerate such defects are prevented from getting their own licences, when some owners who don't care are allowed to keep theirs?

Isn't this precisely the kind of quality control we need in our trade?

Yawn......you should pen a letter to David Cameron regarding the unfettered access to your tool. They're big capitalists and will surely be aghast at the licence situation up here. Type up a letter as its more professional and you're more likely to get a response. Don't use email.
