Nope. Too much potential for abuse from either side.

I have never had any issues. they know when I give them lifts they are a customer but when we hang out we are friends.
only lost 1 customer that way, it was a date and she was telling me all the things she hated, drugs, lads who fight etc way too pushy so I didnt text her back when she text me a few days later but she wasnt a regular customer anyway so I didnt care.

If you have a history of dating female passengers & one of them shouts 'rape', you might as well pack your toothbrush! Even if you somehow got off, your name would be mud in a small town.

Sure that could happen with anyone in fairness. its no different dating a customer you meet while working as a taxi driver than dating someone you met working in an office.

Yes but as I said, if you thought like that you would never leave the house in case you got hit by a bus.
A taxi driver has the same chance of being accused of rape as an office worker, Guard, Engineer etc
why do you think we are more at risk of being accused of rape?
I only ever go on dates with women after work on my own time.

I had a good lady friend fer many years, first met her as a Bootleg customer and that went on fer about 5 years, she was 17 years younger than me and I often referred to her on here as me 'Chungwan'.
5 years after first meeting her and doing an early morning Bootleg run to her home she asked me where was I going ? and I told her home fer a few cans meself, and she asked to join me, that went on platonically fer a very enjoyable another 5 years meeting up or going out or providing paid taxi jobs, but familiarity bore contempt in the end and we parted company about 2 years back.

Shes not bad. ::cheers
id say you could have pulled her if you tried, the only reason women hang out with most men is because they like them as more than friends in my opinion.

rofl imagine if that was a drunk man doing that to a female taxi driver, its amazing what we let them away with.
This customer started rubbing my leg one night, I just picked up her hand and put it back where it came from.

If they start getting all feely, which really ever only happened at night I just start banging me wedding ring on the steering wheel to the beat of whatever music is on. Start a conversation about the kids puts them off too. If they persist a stern, will ya ever fuck off annoying me usually works. Since I started working days it doesn't happen so much. I'm probably too old and ugly without the beer goggles.

2010: Limerick taxi driver jailed for rape (https://www.irishtimes.com/news/limerick-taxi-driver-jailed-for-rape-1.852937)
Mr Justice McCarthy said that Ryan had been in a position of trust and that “persons who hold public service vehicle licenses are called upon to be persons of good character”, as people, particularly young girls are reliant on them to bring them safely home late at night. “It is fundamental that they be completely trustworthy in every respect,” Mr Justice McCarthy. He said the fact Ryan had taken advantage of his position with a vulnerable young woman was an aggravating factor in the case.
He took into account that Ryan had initially lied and claimed that there had been no sexual contact at all between him and the victim but later “changed his story” and told gardai that they had consensual intercourse and he had given her oral sex.
He got 7 years.
2013: Taxi driver questioned after student (20) alleges rape in Phoenix Park (https://www.irishtimes.com/news/crime-and-law/taxi-driver-questioned-after-student-20-alleges-rape-in-phoenix-park-1.1548863)
Gardaí have seized a Dublin taxi for a forensic examination after a college student alleged she was raped by the driver who was bringing her from a popular night club in the city. The alleged rape occurred in the Phoenix Park, north Dublin, in the early hours of Tuesday morning.
The 20-year-old woman was travelling in a taxi from the Copper Face Jacks nightclub on Harcourt Street in the south inner city towards Dublin City University (DCU) on Collins Avenue, Whitehall, north Dublin, when the cab took a route via the park. The vehicle stopped in the area of the Wellington Monument at around 1.30am where the woman claimed she was raped and falsely imprisoned by the taxi driver in his car.
The man, who is from Dublin, has claimed he had consensual sex with the student. He claimed he gave the young woman his phone number and then drove her to her destination at the student accommodation at DCU. Immediately on alighting from the taxi, she sought out security guards working on the campus and raised the alarm. When the matter was reported to gardaí, the taxi driver’s mobile phone number had been entered into the woman’s phone and gardaí were in a position to contact him. The woman has told gardaí the driver put his own telephone number into her phone.
The man’s car has since been taken for forensic examination as part of the investigation. A statement has been taken from the alleged attacker. Gardaí have also spoken to a number of other witnesses and the issue of the woman being too inebriated to consent looks likely to be a key feature in determining the outcome of the criminal investigation.
2019: Taxi driver who sexually assaulted three young women within two weeks is jailed for five years (https://www.thesun.ie/news/4118660/taxi-driver-who-sexually-assaulted-three-young-women-within-two-weeks-is-jailed-for-five-years/)
Judge Ní Chulacháin said the case was aggravated by Uddin abusing his position as a taxi driver, his being aware of the vulnerability of the injured parties, his refusing to stop the taxi in two of the three cases, the timing of the offences being at night, his touching one of the women on her bare skin under her clothing and the somewhat planned targeting of the third woman.
She said the mitigating factors were his guilty plea, his losing his livelihood, his losing of his tenancy, his difficulties in early life, his mental health difficulties, his previous good character and his lack of previous convictions.

A taxi driver who sexually assaulted a late night passenger after she passed out in his car has been jailed for four years.
The victim told gardaí she woke up to find Gerard Gunnery Snr (60) assaulting her. He then became aggressive and threw her out of the car, leaving her in a heap on the side of the road.
The accused, of Ellenfield Road, Whitehall, Dublin pleaded guilty to sexually assaulting the woman in Dublin city on December 23rd, 2017. Evidence was originally heard in the case last November and Gunnery Snr was then remanded in custody.
On Friday Judge Karen O’Connor commended the courage of the injured party and noted her powerful victim impact statement which outlined the profound effect the offending had on her and how she continues to live with the “devastating” impact of the defendant’s behaviour.
READ MORE
She said the offending had been a massive breach of trust in his role as a taxi driver. Holders of public service vehicle licences had certain responsibilities and these had been breached, she said.
Judge O’Connor also said the woman had been taken advantage of when she was vulnerable. She noted when the victim questioned the taxi driver’s behaviour she was dragged from the vehicle and left on the side of the road but still managed to take a picture of his registration plate.
Learn more
She took into account the defendant’s age, health, testimonials and previous good character.
She noted he was now a registered sex offender and that incarceration would be particularly difficult for someone of his age in these times with lack of visitation rights but said a custodial sentence could not be avoided.
Judge O’Connor imposed a four and a half year sentence with the final six months suspended.
At the hearing last November the victim addressed the court and said that a regular girls’ night out in town turned into a nightmare when she woke up in the front seat of the taxi parked outside her home.
Neighbours later told gardaí they heard a woman shouting “get off me” and “stop, don’t touch me” and saw the driver pulling the woman out of the taxi. She was screaming that her leg was stuck under the taxi and he came out and “threw her out of the way”.
She was found on the ground crying and screaming. The court heard she suffered bruising to her elbows, kneecaps and her jaw.
Gunnery Snr made a statement to gardaí claiming that the woman had told him to “go for it” and that he wouldn’t have touched her if she hadn’t said that.
“I am really sorry. She was drunk. I was sober,” he told gardaí.
In her victim impact statement the woman told Gunnery Snr that “you took advantage of me when you should have taken me home”.
She said she suffered crippling guilt and shame and entertained thoughts like “I drank too much, my skirt was too short, my knee high boots were too inviting”.
She feared that her attacker was still out driving a taxi and knew whereabouts she lived and said she still suffers flashbacks and becomes upset if she sees a silver coloured taxi. She said Christmas time last year is difficult because of her fear of drinking and being “in town” again.
Lawyers for Gunnery Snr asked Judge O’Connor not define him for these “ten minutes of a life” which was otherwise “all of good”.
Dominic McGinn SC, defending, said his client’s actions that night were “completely out of character”. He handed in testimonials describing Gunnery Snr as a hard working, “good man” with a “kind heart”.
Mr McGinn told the court that his client has “not fared well” during the last two months in custody. The court heard Gunnery Snr was the victim of an attack by a fellow inmate and underwent surgery on a cancerous growth on his face.
He said his client had also had “significant difficultly” accessing medical care.

Totally different scenarios there. Thats dealing with drunk people you just met. I'm talking about going out with people you know. Just happens you met them while driving a taxi.
-
Sure, we're quoting court cases but look at what the judges were saying. Taxi drivers are not just random guys meeting women, we have extra responsibilities and they got extra time for crossing that line...
- persons who hold public service vehicle licenses are called upon to be persons of good character
- It is fundamental that they be completely trustworthy in every respect
- Judge Ní Chulacháin said the case was aggravated by Uddin abusing his position as a taxi driver
- [The Judge] said the offending had been a massive breach of trust in his role as a taxi driver. Holders of public service vehicle licences had certain responsibilities and these had been breached, she said.
I'm not saying never, ever, ever. If I met the women 6 months later at something totally unconnected to taxi driving, maybe. But, personally, I'd be thinking who are 'they' gonna believe if there's an accusation? In the middle story, we don't know what the outcome was but he felt it was ok to have sex with her (sober v. drunk) and give her his phone number afterwards. She claimed rape.
Would you taxi drive kids under-18 on your own? Or would you go into an elderly person's house for a cup of tea after helping them with their shopping? I wouldn't. I'd do the driving bit, take the money and say goodbye! That's all I'm saying - better safe than sorry.

I think you are being a bit paranoid about it to be honest.
a sober person shouldnt be having sex with someone who is drunk.
them women were clearly attacked, that has nothing to do with dating a customer.
are you saying we arent trustworthy if we go on dates with customers? if so, why not? if I owned a shop and met a customer in it doing her shopping, can I not go on a date with her if she asks me out?
I wouldnt carry kids on their own but might have a cup of tea with someone, why not sure.

Paranoid? You're probably right. But, as the saying goes, sometimes they really are out to get ya >:D
We're different from shop owners. We're PSV drivers and, as the judges keep saying, have extra responsibilities & duties of care towards our passengers.

we have responsibility to get them home safe but I have yet to read in the rules where it says we cant hang out with them when we are off duty. I know a few drivers who met their wives while driving a taxi.

More like I should wake up and say yes to more dates from customers.
I avoid ones with obvious issues, that friend of Belkers would terrify me because alcoholic women, I cant deal with at all. but I kind of regret not saying yes to a date from this polish customer of mine a few years back :-[ she was my type but I had no interest in dates at the time. saying that, she started going out with a drug dealer so maybe I was right to not go on the date.

190 you need to be careful .I use to Drive Bridget Mulligan to the Diabetics clinic to have her eyesight tested to the place in the lane off Thomas Street .She invited me to the Boxing in the National Stadium one Wednesday and I said OK .We arrived in the Stadium free in and we sat in the third row .Bridie went to the bar or at least I thought she did until the Second bout was Womens under 55 years old Middleweight fight .And Bridie was fighting some woman from Drumcondra Ladies Boxing Club .Bridie won by a stoppage in the Second round .We went to the Pub beside the Chipper near the Flats and her brother Frankie see her with a big bruised face and he thought I had clattered her .He came running at me with a bar stool and Bridie had to knock him out so she could tell him she had been fighting in the Stadium and she showed him her trophy .

There was another guy on Ellenfield Road who had his taxi targeted in a case of mistaken identity.

A client and myself hit it off good. He gives me work and when he's out pays for my meals and invites me into the clubs with free food/drinks all night. He's a gent and we have the craic in the car. Been to his house for dinner with his family, he's a good friend now more than a client.

Firewall, I am NOT suggesting anything untoward in your case but sometimes this is how drug dealers get the guillible to transport drugs for them.

why would your house be raided?
also you weren't facilitating drug deals, you were just driving them places like with all customers, its not your problem what they were up to.
if you drive some married man to his mistresses house once a week, would you expect his wife to come looking for you when she finds out?
-
Of course they'd raid his house if they felt like it. The drug squad in Dublin are a nasty piece of work. Goes with the job, I suppose. Even if they found nothing, they could turn him into an informant. And send a message to other taxi drivers...

if the Garda thought you were aware that your passenger was dealing from your vehicle you could be charged with having for sale or supply .The courts would take the evidence of the Garda might be hard to convinge the Judge that you were unaware considering you work the streets and post on here .Keep telling you all about posting your business on here .THIS IS A PUBLIC FORUM .

I'd say they'd only threaten you with a charge - they don't care about street dealers, only the higher-ups.
There's a street in Finglas and some mornings, there'd be 2 or 3 taxis waiting while the passengers are off buying their 'medicine'. It's so obvious, it's comical.

Best to just stay well clear of that type of work, if I get a drug run on-board I just do it and say nowt but no way am I giving them my number. Drug runs invaribly lead to trouble in the end.

If you are stopped doing a return run from a known drug dealing premises, it can be inferred by GardaI that you knowingly carried drugs.
Try proving otherwise. Either way, they can if they want, impound your car for a search.

If the house is under surveillance and your cab is seen turning repeatedly, it would be easy to infer that you knew the nature of the job.
A lot of taxis get caught up in the drugs trade, and one we know of was even allowed to carry on working after being caught with, or on drugs in the airport we hear.

It could be as simple as the Garda Superintendent standing up in court and saying it.
Here's an example - not an exact example - but the Super's opinion carries a lot of weight in the courts. Taxi driver jailed after becoming drugs courier to pay son's debt to dealers refused PSV license (https://www.sundayworld.com/crime/irish-crime/taxi-driver-jailed-after-becoming-drugs-courier-to-pay-sons-debt-to-dealers-refused-psv-license/41626404.html) Sligo taxi driver got 3 years jail for being a drug courier. After jail, he tried to get his licence back. Super said no and the judge agreed.
I believe a Superintendent's opinion can be used to jail IRA men and seize money from the drugs barons. All on his/her opinion.
-
The drugs were found in his trousers pockets
He deserved to loose his Licence, I agree with Garda Chief Superintendent Aidan Glacken who said he was "not of suitable character" to drive a taxi.
I dont buy the story about his son.
-
I never said it was an exact example. Point is a Superintendent can potentially stand up in court and send an IRA man, a Drugs Baron, and a taxi driver to jail based on his honest opinion. His opinion is the evidence!
Alternatively, the Gardai could get an actual druggie to rat you out. Or they could send an undercover Garda to travel in your taxi 3 or 4 times and pretend to be on their way to buy drugs.
-
i was asked loadsa times during the shamdemic if i'd collect gear and drop it from point A to point B.
no man. you'll havta come with me if you wanna do that. i need a co-pilot in case i get lost i'd tell them. 99% of the time they say i understand bro. remember they're either feenin for their next fix or they're sellin gear to anudder cunt who's feenin for their next fix. you'll put the kibosh logistically on the whole thing.
nobody is puttin a gun to these taxi driver's head's who all got stung transporting gear around the kip.
the only problem i envisage is if you're chattin away to the cunt don't tell me ye left your fuckin house keys again in your bleedin pal's gaff at four in the morning ye cunt and a car pulls up alongside us and my heap gets sprayed with an Uzi with a dirty big silencer on it. jaysus ye don't need that ye don't.

So if we drop men to a brothel, could we get in trouble as well?
They tell us the address we drive them there.
-
I reckon you'd be on safer ground with brothels because I believe they only last a week or two before they move on. And nowadays with Tinder etc, there are people who meet for free sex. In contrast, drug dealers have their own patch or, in my area, some deal from their own houses.
-
So if we drop men to a brothel, could we get in trouble as well?
They tell us the address we drive them there.
Picture this:
You drop a guy off at a house who is filmed receiving a package. (keys) as they call drugs these days.
He gets back into your car and you drop him back at the pick-up point.
The Gardai sees you do this a number of times. When your car is stopped and searched - even worse - impounded, you tell them you hadn't a clue that the guy smelling like Mary Warner's lovechild was a dealer, plus the fact the contraband is in YOUR car, they won't need a superintendents opinion to put you in a whole world of pain.
I suppose you could mitigate down by telling them you know a guy who does taxi work for cash without a licence...I think they'd trade off!! 8)
Do you play football perchance?
-
I have often gone to the cinema, football matches, day out, drinking, dinner, the odd date with customers.
anyone else do the same?
I was once orally raped by an owl hag wit no teeth in bluebell ....does that count? :-[
As long as you didn't enjoy it....then no!! lol

As someone said earlier there are a lot of cases regarding taxi drivers transporting drugs but find me a case where a taxi driver got in trouble for transporting a guy who was caught with drugs.

I reckon you'd be on safer ground with brothels because I believe they only last a week or two before they move on. And nowadays with Tinder etc, there are people who meet for free sex. In contrast, drug dealers have their own patch or, in my area, some deal from their own houses.
what if you did a few trips with escorts to the same brothel?

A member of an organised crime gang that was planning an attack on a rival north Dublin faction has been jailed for five years after he was caught with a loaded handgun.
Jake Kearney (25), of Coolock Drive, Dublin 17, pleaded guilty on May 5 at the non-jury Special Criminal Court to unlawful possession of a Luger Grand Power semi-automatic pistol at Oscar Traynor Road, Santry, last October 30.
Presiding judge Mr Justice Tony Hunt noted yesterday that Kearney's mother, whose home was burnt-out after his arrest, was being "punished for the crime of her son" in what he had previously described as a "desperate situation".
Detective Garda James Doolan of the National Drugs and Organised Crime Bureau had told Maddie Grant, prosecuting, that confidential information had alerted gardai to the handover of a firearm.
This was to happen outside the Coachman's Inn on the Swords Road for the purpose of being used in a feud between organised crime gangs in north Dublin.
Footwell
Det Gda Doolan told Ms Grant that, on arriving at the scene at 9.10pm on October 30 along with a number of other garda units, he saw a silver-coloured Skoda Octavia taxi with three males in it.
He observed the rear passenger walk toward the unmarked patrol car and said he identified Kearney, who was wearing a black hoodie and tracksuit bottoms, as he passed the driver's side.
The witness said he observed Kearney on his phone, and added that he disappeared out of sight for a few minutes before returning to speak with the driver of the Octavia.
Gardai followed the Octavia to Oscar Traynor Road, where they stopped it and observed a black handgun in the footwell behind the driver's seat.
Kearney, who was wearing latex gloves, was arrested and taken to Ballymun Garda Station.
The gloves and Kearney's mobile phone were seized along with the handgun, which was functional. Eight bullets were found in the magazine.
"Mr Kearney would have been a trusted member of this organised crime group, and the information we received was that the firearm was to be used in an imminent attack against a rival faction," Det Gda Doolan said at a previous hearing.
"But I have no information on whether or not Mr Kearney was to use the firearm himself, just that it was to be used."
Mr Justice Hunt said the maximum sentence was 14 years, but in Kearney's case the headline term was eight years. He said the court would discount 25pc of the sentence for the early guilty plea.
Judge Hunt said the gun was "loaded and ready for use and actual harm was only prevented by the gardai".
He said it was reasonable to take into consideration that it was "far more likely that Mr Kearney was facilitating the movement of the gun for use by another".
Mr Justice Hunt noted that Kearney's mother was "a hard- working woman", who intended to move from the area, which would give Kearney an opportunity to get away from childhood associates.
The judge suspended the final year of the sentence, telling Kearney: "It's for a specific purpose, to make better use of yourself."
Sentencing him to six years with the final year suspended, he ordered Kearney to live with his mother for two years on his release and to engage with the Probation Service.
He told Kearney to "listen to your mother in future".

Thats just trouble getting his car back.
I was informed by the Gardai not to pick up at a certain address again after my fares were arrested from the cab.
When I asked why, they said Google the house. I did, it had been machine-gunned and shot at and was a major dealer's gaff. naturally, I blocked calls from there.
Others probably like the adrenalin associated with such jobs, it's the additional lead content that bothers me. 8)

I could leave them runs for the illegal taxi. :)

I've told yiz this story before. The end of a friday night a few years ago i picked up a chap around 25 up in swords wanting to go to coolock. a pikey. talkin bollocks at me along the way he was. was tryin to feel the cunt out and he kept deflectin evertin i was sayin to him. big red flag. we pull up outside 71b adare road. the only house on the street with any lights on inside. he says how much is on the meter. twenty sumtin. no problem he says and he jogs in to the garden and down the side of the house. i'm waitin and waitin and waitin. i'm not sure if he's gone inta the house and said fuck it i'm not comin back out. did he have the balls to just casually jog off through somebody's garden at a very slow pace in front of me. maybe he went inta the back entrance of the gaff and is puttin the lolly together i thought. i eventually get out and go upta the gaff and gently knock on the door. no answer. i ring the bell. no answer.
ye do silly things when you're fatigued and i did another one. i went round to coolock garda station. fella eventually came to the desk. how's it goin. i dropped an itinerant to a house round the corner and he never came back out to pay me. i'll send a car around he says. ok i go back and wait at the gaff and i says this is rediculous i go back to the garda station and tell your man don't worry about it but he says they've been dispatched and are around the corner. i go back to the house and they arrive shortly after. a man and a lady. they knock on the door no answer and your woman says i'll leave a garda card in the letterbox lettin them know we were here and give ye a bell on the dog and bone tomorrow. gameball. i'm stretched out in the queen sized bed the follyin mornin and the phone goes off and it's the garda. we went back round that house today and a fuckin audience formed around us she said. i don't need to tell ye what we were greeted with at the door. proper boyos was her expression. heavy duty scum. yiv a better chance of gettin a tip off a chink than gettin that score you're owed. i felt like an awful cunt for droppin them in it.
i googled the gaff and someone was stabbed in the front garden and another time someone was chased in to it and the front was shot up. during the lockdown someone rammed the front of the house and torched the car.

you can go back through the years on google street view and it's been fixed up, boarded up, fixed up, boarded up, fixed up, boarded up. the night i was there it was totally presentable. i never found out if it was a pikey nest or the pikey knew of the unsavoury nature of the gaff and used it as an ultimate decoy. coincidentally the gaff was just sold at auction a couple of months ago with some nice interior fire damage included. look at the hack of the inside.

...... As someone said earlier there are a lot of cases regarding taxi drivers transporting drugs but find me a case where a taxi driver got in trouble for transporting a guy who was caught with drugs.
All of the scenario's pointed out are probable but highly unlikely.
Generally speaking any Taxi driver ever caught was at it big time.
Fer myself, why bother doing anything illegal when we can make the same dosh legally ??

That's what I was thinking.
But I don't think we can make the same dosh as them, they make thousands per day, we have to fight with customers to pay a €20 fare.
