A rare piece from the Chard and Ilminster News, which seems to be in Somerset :-o


Taxi driver ordered off the road for driving with this bulging tyre

THE driver of a taxi with a bulging tyre has had their licence suspended.

Another cabbie suffered the same fate after they were caught with a faulty meter.

And a third driver was handed a rectification notice, meaning they need to carry out repairs to their vehicle.

The incidents happened during police taxi compliance checks in Taunton and Yeovil on Friday night (December 3).

A spokesperson for Avon and Somerset Police's road safety policing unit said: "We conducted further taxi compliance checks in Yeovil and Taunton.

"A positive evening of engagement and enforcement action with two licences immediately suspended for defects (faulty meter and bulged tyre) and one rectification notice issued."

You might have missed a bulge like that. I mean, TaxiPoint had to put a circle round it to make sure everyone could see it :lol:
