Hi,

Just passed my knowledge and driving test - lamb to the slaughter comes to mind ...... can anyone offer any tips on storing change and notes whilst on the job for PH.... should i go for a change dispenser or is a money belt/bumbag easier to use...any help would be appreciated. What works for you?

Cheers

Simon

just get a cash dispenser, and keep just a minimum float like 20 quid, rest of the notes in ur pocket,,unless u r forecasting an obscene fortune, in which case get a forklift to move a 1 ton safe into ur boot,,good luck.

I have a canvas bag, and it's never more than 6 inches from my hand.

As for notes, I always put them in my back pocket. Although some of the lads spread them around in different places.

I've heard about your long pockets.

I have a couple of sports holdalls, one for the notes and another for the pound coins and like.

I notice your user name . . . . . your not a Special Police Constable are you?

Welcome to the mad house. On here and out there.

Any sort of bag will do. As for those coin dispensers, They would be on display for all to see.
The best place I find is down by the left of your seat.
Keep it out of sight and as others have said don't keep too much in the bag. Do what GBC and others do. Get a couple of sports holdalls for the notes and pound coins.
Also don't have your mobile on display too obvious. Many have gone in a quick grab.

For PH it depends on the car,
My old avensis had hideaways and pockets around the drivers seating area so i could stash cash in a few places, keeping me and my float low,
The 406 i have now lacks these pockets and is basically awful to hide takings.

No..Spent Previous Convictions....

Thanks guys...all useful information....

I found this on e-bay...its a cash dispenser which clips on your belt, might be useful for someone...

another point is if a punter askes you what type of night you have had always give them impression that its been a poor one might get you a better tip as well:lol: .

I have seen them. They will not be very comfortable whilst driving. As said, get a bag and you could place it under your seat.
