Taxi Driver Online

That's the beauty of our quality controls, it does'nt bar anyone from trying, we have black, white, oriental, gay, straight, and probably even a cross dresser or two as qualified London taxi drivers, but the best bit is it keeps the lazy and stupid at bay.

End result? The best and most commited Taxi drivers in the world.

Well that's me in a way.

You'll be pleased to know I left my relations back up North though. I brought Uncle Gordon down though, apparantly he quite likes Number 10.

You can keep him. We don't want him back

FORUMS ARE A GOOD PLACE TO LET OFF STEAM ! DONT TAKE LIFE TO SERIOUSLY ..

ComCab have had their chance, I've an interview for Dial-A-Cab in a couple of weeks. £136 all in per month, and the circuit is generaly regarded as London's best, hence the reason I never even bothered calling them first off.

That's the good thing going to a Radio Circut full of old lads, the retirement rate is good.

Isn't that the one where you become a share-holder?

Yes, it's the last of the driver owned circuits in London. It's grown into a muti million pound outfit, so the threat of an outside bidder buying in is always on the cards.

Some drivers would sell their Grandmother for a few quid.

I'll try it and see, I've yet to meet anyone who regrets having had a 'radio' installed, so I could be heading in the right direction.

>"Yes, it's the last of the driver owned circuits in London<"

Driver owned be bollocksed. The drivers have stood for minicabs being brought onto the circuit.

The drivers are to apathetic to look after thier own best interest.

>"Some drivers would sell their Grandmother for a few quid"

And that is what the board of DaC would rely on.

A big thank you to the LCDC spokesperson.

Have you signed up yet GBC?

Not yet, I had an interview and passed . . strangely enough. I'm waiting on a fitting date . . . but!

I'm now not so sure it will be for me, I think I've been independant for too long!

This is what you will be getting GBC.

The good news is they work
the bad news is they are illegal to use as they are mobile phones

(1) No person shall drive a motor vehicle on a road if he is using -

(a) a hand-held mobile telephone; or
(b) a hand-held device of a kind specified in paragraph (4).

(4) A device referred to in paragraphs (1)(b), (2)(b) and (3)(b) is a device, other than a two-way radio, which performs an interactive communication function by transmitting and receiving data.

(6) For the purposes of this regulation -

(a) a mobile telephone or other device is to be treated as hand-held if it is, or must be, held at some point during the course of making or receiving a call or performing any other interactive communication function;
(b) a person supervises the holder of a provisional licence if he does so pursuant to a condition imposed on that licence holder prescribed under section 97(3)(a) of the Road Traffic Act 1988 (grant of provisional licence);
(c) "interactive communication function" includes the following:

(i) sending or receiving oral or written messages;
(ii) sending or receiving facsimile documents;
(iii) sending or receiving still or moving images; and
(iv) providing access to the Internet;
(d) "two-way radio" means any wireless telegraphy apparatus which is designed or adapted -
(i) for the purpose of transmitting and receiving spoken messages; and
(ii) to operate on any frequency other than 880 MHz to 915 MHz, 925 MHz to 960 MHz, 1710 MHz to 1785 MHz, 1805 MHz to 1880 MHz, 1900 MHz to 1980 MHz or 2110 MHz to 2170 MHz;

this kind of says it all I think, section 4 spells it out. a device other than a 2 way radio that transmits or receives data

But only when it is in his hand.

It is not illegal to use a mobile phone per se. It is illegal to hold a mobile phone while using it.

I have an Orbit 2 that I use, believe it or not, as my phone!

It has bluetooth so voice dialling is easily set up. It has a touch screen with various key pad options. I can check train and flight arrivals on the internet without removing the phone from its bracket.

It also has Windows Mobile, which includes excel, powerpoint and word, and co-pilot sat nav with built-in GPS. I also have a 1GB storage card.

All in all, in the 3 months that I've had the phone I've found it a useful tool for running my business and playing with!

Providing you use it correctly, in accordance with the law, you should get on with it OK.[/i]
