I'm an independent hackney and looking for a day driver.

I've stuck signs in the back window before now, but have tinted windows so anything put inside the windows can't be seen.....

Where can you advertise for drivers?

Word of mouth on the ranks usually works.

where do you get that from?

I've got black tint all the way round the back.... no problems on the pit test, no questions by the LO and Police have seen it on many occasions and not questioned it....

Even have the old dears who run up to get in mine because it's a black car, with blacked out windows and they think its a Limo!!!
