Pepper spray taxi driver fined

A TAXI driver caught carrying pepper spray in his cab for his own protection has been hit with a fine.

Fevzi Karalar was stopped by police in Wigan on June 11 and officers discovered a can of pepper spray in his cab.

The 42-year-old pleaded guilty at the first opportunity to carrying a weapon which discharges a noxious liquid.

He told officers he had been given the pepper spray by his brother, who had brought it back from Germany - where it is legal to carry.

He said he had previously been attacked by a passenger in his cab and was carrying it for his own protection.

Karalar, of Victoria Street, Crewe, was handed a £300 fine and ordered to pay £35 costs and a £30 victim surcharge.

Should have just had a can of strong hold hair spray in his door, just as effective and easier to explain away :wink:

With the long hours that some of the guys have to put in - then a deodorant cannister would not be out of place!

I've just brewed up another batch of home made window cleaner/air freshener/disinfectant, handy to keep in the door pocket.

Take one Jif lemon and empty the contents into a blender along with a handfull of the hottest chilies you can find, you can add a few drops of vinegar as well if you like. Blend the ingredients together and then filter the liquid off, return this liquid into the Jif squeezy bottle for easy dispensing.

You can then use this to ; Clean the windscreen, the lemon cuts through grease and the vinegar leaves a sparkling finish. Use as an air freshener to give the interior a nice lemony smell. The chillies act as a disinfectant for all those nasty accidents that might occur.

There may be other uses also as lemon juice, vinegar and chillies are known for their cleaning and antiseptic properties, just remember to keep it away from the eyes :wink:
