That's my fave , getting soiling charge first. Turn up heater, let em puke , keep the dosh. Cleaning up is far more profitable than driving !

It's Criminal Damage as stated in the NALEO book.

That is as maybe but how many coppers have read the NALEO handbook or even have any idea of any laws pertaining to taxis and you have to argue your case with them when they want to do other things.

If any one refuses to pay any charge that is on TAXI(hackney carriage) tariff table it is a criminal offence,always has been and always will be,it is not a civil matter.

Then we as members of the trade need to tell them otherwise.

Well in relation to hackneys anyway.

i had a drunken lad & 3 lasses in the car last night, the fare was £9.40, the lasses got dropped off at a club & said "can you take him to ( and gave me the address)" he was sitting in the back, slumped forward & hiccuping like fook :lol: , i said to the lass "he aint gonna spew is he?" she said "no, he always hiccups like this when hes pi$$ed", she wanted some money off him so he had to get out the car to stand up & go in his pockets for cash , while outside the car ( i had my window down) i herd her say (very quietly) , "now john your not gonna spew in the taxi again are you" ?,he said, "i will try not to" :lol: i just said "just pay mate im not taking you" ,he kicked off shouting & balling , i just said ." ok mate, 3 options as i cant be bothered with this chit"

1-) pay me now because you aint going any further in this cab

2-) wait here while i lock the car & go & get the police over there who are sitting in the van

3-) you have just gave me your address & i will come around tomorrow morning & we can sort it then when you are sober & not so full of bravado ( he was only about 25-30)

i got 11 quid :lol: :lol: :lol:



My (out) on possible puke situations, was to notify the potential puker of the soil charge, in our case it was £50. This was usually followed by....Yeh that's okay drive. With me then asking......do you have the £50 in the event of it happening, followed by (always) yes drive ! I would then insist on the fare and the £50 upfront, adding that if they did not puke.......then the £50 would be given back on completion of the journey. Only once in all the years did a mate of one extremely drunk buddy come up with the money........the rest either decline Or do not have the money.


might give that a whirl tbh :wink: its £80 here
