Taxi Driver Online

Not as much as they will rip of every vehicle over the next ten years, and beyond.

They do make them up themselves. The problem is that the system used, Lalpac, is so old and slow that to do the administration for the simplest of tasks takes ages. The software does not seem to be able to transfer data from one place to another so the information needs to be transferred or inserted several times. I have a copy of the process flow chart and it is cringe worthy how many stages have the step "transfer to database". It takes 2 hours to process a simple drivers renewal application. It takes over an hour to process a vehicle application without actually producing the plates.
The problem seems to be the "it has always been done this way" attitude and of course job presevation, if they had a better system then maybe they could manage with less staff and the unions don't like that idea.

Grandad,

Simple way is get the council to get one or 2 vinyl printers on board, they can make them up in 2 mins , then keep them on the vehicle until it retires, when you replace it get the same plate number made up again

Yes Skips, we know how it CAN be done but it requires the will of the licensing to implement the system....
