Was dropping my chungfella down to a venue that he was playing in ladt night to collect his guitar...pulled in on part of the rank that's rarely used(not on the street where the main rank is) to wait for him to run across the road to the venue....knock on my passenger window....he didn't introduce himself by name but flashed a badge and said taxi regulator....explained i wasn't working(was in workwear and a manky t-shirt),he said the traffic wardens were on the rounds,there were a couple of private cars parked behind me and he was having words with the drivers,he said he'd give me five minutes......i was gone a couple of minutes later...but it got me thinking what powers has he to do anything about the private cars given there was no warden or Garda with him,he probably could have done me for plying for hire as i don't have an LH licence
-
if your roof sign light wasn't on, it would be hard for him to prove you were plying for hire.

he was on a rank
-
i see taxis from dublin park in my local rank in west if ireland during the days sometimes, no one passes any heed on them, we know they arent plying for hire, just parked there for a few minutes before heading off again.
-
If I was a private driver I'd have told him to Fcuk off as he has no control over private vehicle's
-
Them fuckwits think they are still in the force, if you'd no rooflight or meter on I'd just tell him to fuck off away from me car, your insured for social and domestic purpose so FUCK Off...
Inanyways why didn't ya bring him down in shitty brown?

Had it parked up in front of me joe....i was over in the UK for a roadtrip the weekend so it was resting.
I was parked in the rank albeit around the corner but had i been in the Citroen i would have told him to sling his proverbials.

If your roof sign was on the vehicle you are deemed to be Plying for hire.
Anyhoo, just forget it happened.

Would think taxi sign has to be in the boot for private use

Exactly.
Or you're allowed turn the sign length ways if engaged long distance.

You can accept a private hire anywhere. That's how all the country drivers flood the cities to work for mytaxi.

I taught the County sticker on your sign was were you were legally entitled to pick up off the street ?

Picking up off the street and accepting a private hire are two different things things.

Understood Tony, so with MYT we can pick up anywhere in the cntry

Technically an e hail is the same as a pre-book job.Thats how Uber hacks in London were running rings around the black cabs.It might only be booked two minutes bit it's still booked.
-
Yes, STC. Hence thousands of drivers with country licences work for mytaxi up above in Dublin.

And I'm sure they obey the rules about picking up off the street
-
Of course not.Sure they don't have D stickers on their signs....
-
They don't need to pick up off the street if they work for mytaxi. I can't remember the last street job I done.

I dunno about that, I remember being breathalysted a few years back and the Lady Garda said to me;
"I see your meter is On so your at the lower level".

What type of rank exactly were you on Hal ?
And what has LH licence got to do with it ?
I'm taking it that you do have both Louth and Dublin stickers on your roofie ?
P.S. Hope you enjoyed the weekend away fer the Citreon car owners bash. ::cheers
-
It's an official taxi rank albeit around the corner from the front of the rank,extremely rare for taxis to be parked in that section.....i don't have LH or MH stickers....in hindsight i shudda got them back in the day as the area knowledge test consisted of goin into the PSV office in Drogheda Garda stn and answering a few questions,
I did indeed enjoy the bash in the UK....weather was only gorgeous and the car never let me down...cheers!!

Hash browns seem to have crept into all regions... tasteless little fuckers clearly used to fill the plate for pennies.

I gotta agree, I did a trip to the Giants Causeway a few years back, had the Ulster Fry on the way. Gorgeous it was !
