what doesn't yours stop after 90 seconds :lol:
Most of our fares ARE less than 90 seconds, lazy barstewards ! :badgrin:
One from a social club to home, from setting off to pulling up takes 17 seconds - I've counted. :sad:

seriously though it is the drivers duty to ask the passenger to belt up if you don't and are pulled by the police you can be in trouble


No you're not, a driver doesn't have to make an adult wear a seatbelt.


No you are responsible for reminding them to wear it otherwise if the police stop you you CAN be prosecuted by the police

Fat lazy mums who don't know how to fold down a buggy.

And then take three weeks to unload all their rubbish from it.

End of a decent fare (for once) meter says £16.20, just call it £16 I say. Passenger replies whilst handing over a £20, er um ah take err lets call it say err £16.50. As he's doing this meter goes up to £16.40, seeing this he says, oh err um thats a bit tight err go on take err lets see err £16.70 !!!

Well, err um.. thanks a lot a 30p tip on a fare thats £16.40, why not just say take the £17 and be done with it ? BMW, Merc and Audi on the drive though. Didnt get them by throwing money away :badgrin:
