Keep a record of all out of pocket losses

Can you rent a cab on an invoice till your reseated in one of your own?

Didnt you get whiplash?.....didnt it come on later?

Have you legal protection?

Grandad,

Be careful with these lease hire scheme cabs these non fault accident companies supply.

I've heard of several cases where the 3rd parties insurance refuse to cover the costs as it was shown the injured party could have rented a similar taxi from other garages for £230 a week, not a day!

Back in 2011 the same happened to me, total rental costs for 9 weeks lease hire, and the repair of my wing and bumper were billed to the offenders insurance company for .. wait for it ... £16000!!

They refused, and the garage (and lease hire company-same premises) had to accept a much smaller amount around the £8k mark.

BUT ....... they could have then tried to extract the shortfall from my insurance .... putting me back to square one and losing my no claims, the main reason I used the non fault company in the first place.



They didn't.

I have had a look around and it appears Mansfield saloons can be replaced with vehicles up to 4 years old, so there policy seems very unreasonable, I have also noticed that they have licensed vehicles well over the age limit, so this sets a precedent.

How is a 1st plate afe limit of 4 years unreasonable? we have that and hacks on 55 plates, the legislation is clear

From reading up it seems all w/c friendly have to be less than 1 year old, where saloon vehicles had to be less than 4 years old, so it seems to me to be unfair, and when they replace there vehicles the same applies.

Well I hope not,he's the only Arsenal fan on here,

I know you refer to Mansfield, but don't you mean Nottinghamshire, this will then include them all, but a lot of miners in that area were still in the NUM, so you are being unfair to those miners.

There are 49 black and white vehicles (saloon) and will never be any more I think they have something called grandfather rights on them and when they need replacing it can be with a vehicle upto 4 years old as for the black cabs there is no cap on these but any new black cab which wants to be plated must be under 12 months old from date of registration once a Hackney is plated it can stay on for life as long as it keeps passing two safety tests a year as nidge stated earlier mansfield district council make the rules up as they go lol

Isnt that assabout face? surely they should ease off on WAV, here a "purpose built" (no mention of WAV) can be 10 years old for 1st plate saloons max at 1st plate is 4 years

Then change the rules, get yourself an invite to the meetings, who do you know,
John Coxhead- Ace ABC. Cllr John Smart-Licensing Committee Chairman, George Ambler-123, Kevin Rowland 652’s spokesperson, Edwin Byron- Hackney Carriage representative, Geoff Lidgett- Mansfield Hackney Carriage Association,
Get what you want put on the agenda,I'm assuming the above are trade reps that go to these meetings, there's a meeting of the Quality Service Working Group Meeting - 10th November - 10AM - Council Chamber so you will have to be quick. It would seem like a good place to start, if you can get the reps on board the council will listen.

I agree, they should at least be the same.

This why we need a NATIONAL Standard instead of 600 plus local ones
