I see a rickshaw ban is to be proposed on health,and safety grounds
-
It's taken them a long time to make a call on this.Good news for a change.
-
Ban Rickshaw's....
-
Minister for Transport Shane Ross is set to propose a ban on rickshaws to allay the risk they cause to public safety.
The minister is appearing before the Oireachtas Transport Committee to discuss the issue of regulation of rickshaws, which are a popular form of transport in Dublin and a number of cities around the country.
Safety concerns have been raised around the vehicles, leading to calls from some quarters for them to be regulated or banned altogether.
Mr Ross outlined his "deep concerns about public safety with rickshaws on our streets."
Concerns have been raised over rickshaws such as blocking footpaths and forcing pedestrians onto the road, weaving recklessly in and out of traffic, paying little or no heed for the rules of the road, breaking red lights, driving the wrong way up a one-way street, and transporting passengers with little care for their safety.
A recent National Transport Authority survey revealed 57% of rickshaw passengers reported being involved in accidents or near misses. The NTA said "this is a shocking statistic."

Had my LED indicator light whacked by a cocky wheelbarrow Ricky...asked a gardai to talk to him....no feedback yet...but that was only 2 months ago???????
-
THEY WILL NOT BE BANNED .Ross said he needs to talk to the Attorney General JC Decaux have permission as part of the Dublin Bike deal to operate pedal vehicles to carry passengers .You will remember the Meteor and 7up pedal cars .There is also special pedal bikes for invalids and motorised scooters for invalides .At best they will be regulated and insured .That will put most if not all of them off the road
-
We don't believe ya Ermy..
-
Id settle for regulation,those Brazilian drig dealers wont pay the cost that would be assocated with regulation.I think they WILL be banned though,because the NTA have said 57 per cent of accidents involving rickshaws have been reported to them,and by their own admission that is a shocking staristic
-
We don't believe ya Ermy..
Fair Enough .He will come back with some crap that the AG has informed him he cannot ban them any hoo he wont be in Power long enough to ban them .
-
Do ya remember the story about the boy who cried wolf Erm?..Why would ya settle for regulation when you don't have to.That's loser talk Dalymount.
-
Whays lose talk ?-calling them Brazilian drug dealers ?you are oviously not aware of the recent RTE documentry which exposes these Brazilian drug dealers
-
Asking for regulation of rickshaws is dumb.Just ban the fukking things they have no place in our industry.Just like Uber rideshare.Saying you'd accept regulation is not getting rid of them it's appeasing them and the NTA and allowing wiggle room to make them viable.
Limos are regulated and there are more and more every day covering our work.
-
the real question we need to ask ourselves is.......... Why piss into a Fanta bottle when you can piss into a super soaker ?

Johnny is probably right......hard to ban a vehicle that is pedal-driven and not insured. They get around all legislation by not asking for fares or reward and accepting voluntary donations. Several yuppies use those Dutch styled tricycle yokes to carry kids around in so the Earl of Sandyford, Ross, might be bluffing. Can't see a blanket ban being enforceable.
-
firstly they DO NOT accept donations {legally} they are supposed to,and the other question i would like to know is ,how did the manage to get them off the road in Galway ?
[
[
-
Don't know about Galway but just because the cops don't let them operate there doesn't mean it's banned. Remember how the cops were doing people for speeding by hiding behind objects not so long ago....every case appealed was thrown out. The Earl is trying to run with the hare and the hounds here as he always does. It could be a case of waiting to see what public opinion says.
-
lips they actually ARE banned in Galway. this happened about 2 years ago. i just dont know why they cannot apply the same criteria here, for doing likewise
-
as far as public opinion is concerned, the NTA themselves have recieved a huge number of complaints regarding public safety , from the users of the chariots
-
Alright, I didn't know that, but banning would require a nationwide cap...I would have thought....Ross is not Minister for Dublin transport if you get me. He's up to some thing Dalymount....he always is. The school near me lost out on funding because Wesley college is in his constituency....plenty of comfortable yummy-mummies and daddies use those tricycle yokes at the weekends to ferry Tarquin and Alexandra around to polo practice and piano lessons....you must have seen them....
-
yes it does seem rather strange how they could ban them in Galway , and not in Dublin as far as i remember this issue came before DCC last year, and the chance was there then to ban them. but the push bike, and sandles brigade of Cuff, and Keegen were having none of it
-
Ill try again Donnybrook.When JC Decaux done the deal with DCC they were given consent to operate pedalcars .As a result of that contract JCDecaux would sue DCC for millions if they introduced a ban on pedalcars .Rickshaws CANNOT be banned by law as there is no such thing in law as a Rickshaw .So first what will need to happen is a legal definition of Pedalcars will have to be defined then when that definition is reached there will be lobbying by the Wheelchair association and other vested interests then court challenges then the Government will have to introduce a bill .The reason Galway banned them is because there was no impediment to them introducing a by law but in dublin the Council have an existing contract with JCDecaux which prevents them bringing in any blanket ban .Ross knows this and has said he will ban them as soon as the Attorney General gives him the Go ahead which he wont .The end result will be a low standard probably only brakes lights registration plate and insurance and the taxithingey will oversee the regs .Rickshaws WILL NOT be banned they will be regulated .Downside for taxi drivers is the regulations will be nationalso every city town or large village will have legal Rickshaws .The lads in the Carrages at Guinness wont be Pleased .

Makes sense now. Learn something new every day.

john
were health, and safety issues are now recorded against these operators,does this not supercede any legal obligations to fullfillthis contract ?

NO it just means they need to be standards applied or in common parlance regulation .
-

You know it makes sence .Ross will bring in National Regulation which will as a result of economy of scale bring in a nice bit of coin for local authorities and the taxithingey will regulate it and licence drivers a win win win for the body politics coffers .The only thing Ross is worried about is the State are not getting their share of revenue from Rickies .
-
I never thought he could ban them anyway...Leo's Ireland 2040 development plan has the bicycle as the preferred mode of transport between the canals. They always let people know what they are going to do but know most people are too busy watching I'm a Celebrity, get me some Panto work to care.
-
surely they should be also concerned that ll these Brazilian drug dealers are here illegaly ?

Most Brazilians hold Portugese Passports .

And why not? The colonisers of old get their comeuppance later on. Enoch Powell knew he'd be brown bread before his inflammatory speeches took real effect....culture boss, innit?

Regulation doesn't deter Irish taximen from drug dealing...or from blocking footpaths and forcing pedestrians onto the road, weaving recklessly in and out of traffic, paying little or no heed for the rules of the road, breaking red lights, etc... An outright ban is the way to go.

You mean Ban Taxies ....YES
-
No. Ban Rickshaws and Rick Shaw's taxi.
-
Do you have a plate number for Rick Shaw I cant find it .Is Rick his name or is it Richard ?
-
Not off hand bu I've seen stickers on the back of taxis calling for his property (presumably taxi or fleet of taxis) to be banned.
-
PROPERTY Ah see where you are comming from .If Rick invested in a bike that was legal at the time would banning the bike constitute an attack on Ricks Property Rights .If rick was paying Tax he would be an established business and enjoy further PROPERTY rights .
-
Indeed, fair play to Minister Ross for putting him on notice.
-
And some people actually think Ross is going toban them rofl rofl rofl rofl rofl rofl rofl rofl rofl
-
Erm yer unreliable.What about all the other nonsense you said was gonna happen that didn't?
-
Ermisms.
-
If you think Rideshare is off the tabe you are deluded .
-
FFS, you told us that rideshare can't happen because the European courts ruled that Uber cannot do anything it's not currently doing.
-
One of us is deluded alright John..
-
Just wait and watch as Rosses Booze Bus fails and Rideshare is back on the agenda especially when Uber win their Licence back in London .
-
Great to see debate and constructive doggedness.
-
Lip its set up to Fail then they can look at alternatives .The last Booz Bus goes long before closing time .Warren Buffett tried to invest 3 Billion in Uber but they told him to stick his money uphis hole they didnt want it .Expect UBER to be IPOed about October this year .When its a legitimid Company Quoted on the Stock Exchange everything will change .If we can regulate Rickshaws ,we can regulate rideshare .As soon as FF or FG are in the driving seat they will do the right thing for the travelling public .
-
Regulating rideshare is taxi driving?
-
Regulating rideshare is taxi driving?
No its not a taxi driver drives a taxi but rideshare might just require that the driver passes some sort of test Vehicle wont matter a fuck .If the Healy Wrays dont own a fleet of taxies then Rideshare will be on their agenda to support the next government as Danny needs to get his drunks back to the Cottage .

You know more about the ISEQ etc than i do but one thing I do know is that anyone believing one word coming out of a T'D's mouth is a fool. Buffett invested in Sainsburys in Britain to offset American tax-dollars against sterling in the event of a meltdown. People forget how important Britain is to the Yanks. Private car ownership is akin to wife-swapping....it'll be frowned upon very soon by those controlling FIAT money.
-
Didn't Sainsburys buy Walmart (Asda) on the mainland recently? I recall reading that it will be bigger than Tesco when the deal is complete.
-
Keeping the Sainsbury name but Walmart bought them via Asda..the MD of Sainsbury was recorded humming "We're in the money" on Sky. Could have that the wrong way around but Buffett was reported to have been very worried about something....
-
I thought it odd that Walmart would lose interest in the UK. Shame it never bought Dunnes Stores back when it was reputed to be interested... but then, Dunnes shares tenancy of some shopping centres with direct competitors whereas Walmart (and Tesco) don't facilitate joint anchor tenancies in their high street killer models.
-
Elon Musk and Buffett have teamed up for some venture too....maybe Buffett and sons are relocating to Mars via SpaceX?
-
I was watching a documentary on one of the English channels last week about Marks and Sparks. The commentators reckon it's lost it's way, trying to sell knickers to too broad a range of shoppers and such like. It's decline really started years ago when it was too reluctant to end manufacturing partnerships with UK firms and treated it's staff too well by comparison to the ever-increasing number of competitors happily supporting foreign sweatshops.

I remember going in to Liffey valley toget a cheap jacket and trousers to go to a funeral and M+s wouldnt accept Credit Cards ,

Very accurate I'd say. The old adage of looking after your staff doesn't ring too well in this corpotocracy. The old contract staff in M and S would have been on serious bread for a relatively menial job(no disrespect intended). John Lewis worked around it by offering staff shares if they agreed to forsaking old contracts for new ones. Marks will be missed by me I can tell you if they fold....their dine in options are fucking brilliant.
-
Had to buy a suit myself a while back as there was no way I could get into the rather nice one I already owned. As I was spending my own hard earned, Louis Copeland wasn't an option so I tried every shop in Swords. Turned out that only Dunnes Stores had one that almost fit off the peg, 56R jacket (bit of a struggle to close but OK worn open) and 44/32 trousers (had to take them up myself - and I did it myself with some magic sticky webbing that irons on). Still, it wasn't expensive and I'm hoping to fit back in the other one in time for Leopardstown next Christmas... I'll start Monday!
-
Watch out for certain discount stores' prawns and shrimp lads...they are farmed in human excrement in Vietnam...not a wind up. Marks would never do that.
-
FFS my cuf links dont even fit me anymore .Tried on the jacket of me suit last year I looked like Benny From Crossroads in it .
-
Since my back went and 2 operations later i've put on 3 stone...18 stone now but only around the gut and arse as she tells me.

Usually I try to get out of those awkward situations by accusing the wife of washing my clothes on a higher temperature than I would use.

The problem with the food store was characterised in two ways. First, the profit on food is low compared to clothing so while food accounts for higher sales it earns significantly less and, second the brand was built on quality i.e. this is not just a pork scratching, it's a Marks and Spencers pork scratching, etc... and that quality (particularly in ready meals, sandwiches to go, etc) didn't exist elsewhere at the time whereas it's everywhere now. Hence today's middle class brits aren't filling the weekly trolley in any one store anymore, they'll go to Aldi, Morrisons, M&S and possibly some others over the course of a week.

I've decided I can be a little heavy and enjoy myself or slim and bored.Combining both might be impossible.Even the dog isn't able for 40 mins a day walking anymore.Might need to go without him to get results.

Never let a cunt go near your back wit a knife....
Me lower verts are fused naturally and I'm right as rain...I had a very disablin injury that nearly drove me to suicide.... Took few years but I'm glad I didn't get any ops....i started out rollerblading ( I know yur laughing).... In the park... The movement of this activity eased the pain and was fundamental to recovery I'm certain..... Physiotherapy only made it worse, anti inflammatory drugs gave me an ulcer.....
I fuked all the experts advice and drugs and therapy machines out the window cause it wasn't working and makin me worse

How come all the intelligence blokes here is fat fuks?
Have you every wondered that why?
-
Well I was 15 stone Octy and that's ok for someone 6 3" in the bare feet, but I had to have the ops mate...no choice. Tore my ankle ligaments twice in 3 yrs and one fellow noticed my left leg had 3 inches less muscle than my right. I was very sporty up until recently and did Judo and Shotokan for yrs and Gaelic football etc. The ankle was weakened from playing sport but the real problem was in my back. Spent yrs going to chiropractors and physios and quacks of all kinds....even did Yoga and swimming. The back is very dodgy but it's done now.........so fuck it. Even had orthotics for the daisies...waste of time.
And why do you keep letting on your a mad cunt............you can't be mad if you think you're mad!
-
Keto.
-
Yep....low carbs...that's what i'm doing. Very effective but like all proper weight loss yokes....takes time. Walking a mile a day with dogs and paying a nipper to pick up dog shite....I'll be back to 15 stone by Xmas...or dead.
-

Someone who reads isn't always intelligent Octy....don't confuse intelligence with learning. Education: knowing a tomato is a fruit....Intelligence: knowing never to put it in fruit salad.
-
70% fat, 25% protein, 5% carbs. That's the key to keto.
-
Only carbs I eat now is porridge with fruit. All unnecessary ones are gone like spuds and past and beer etc. Takes time and I've done it before. Woman I'm with only eats stir-fries...no noodles or rice...she does Muay Thai and pilates and the odd bit of sex.

Odd sex lucky fucker

I'm not mad atall lippy.....
It's probably an expression of victory over me opponents ( we all meet the cunts in life)
If yu declare yurself mad its quite liberatin cause yu pre empt the psychos, narcissists,sociopaths, and disable them..... Primary weapon of mad cunts is to call everyone else mad..... By declaring yurself mad yu also can spot the mad cunts cause they love to join in on a potential victim who already has declared hez mad..... So therfore yu can spot the mad cunts an eliminate them or smile at them.....
Do yu know Wat I mean?
Also I think I'm expression me euphoria at life, me stubbornness, me individuality, an me belief that alot mad cunts in institutions are more sane than the fukin doctors.....
We'r wud the world be without Keith moon, or van Goch or teslas......
Life is good..... I'm mad with hap penis

Narcissists? fuck me......you know more than I thought............you know they can't handle peace and happiness?

Watch out for fellas putting up pics of themselves doing things....narcissists. When a fella tells everyone he's mad, then he's projecting...you're right though...no bad people here..just lonely or bored, I'd say. Anyway, look after yourself and Octy...don't go buying a Harley...classic sign...need for stress and pain in life....female Narcissists are usually women who have many kids to take out their anger on...keep away from middle-aged men showing themselves as father figures...usually the victims of mammy narcissists.

lips they actually ARE banned in Galway. this happened about 2 years ago. i just dont know why they cannot apply the same criteria here, for doing likewise
That is not fully true Dalymount.
There are only banned from the pedestrianised streets of Galway.

-
All bikes are banned from the pedestrian areas.
-
Be careful what you wis for. There was a Galway driver on Roy's blog complaining that he was queuing on ranks for hours and only getting €4.10 jobs when the rickshaws were restricted over there.
-
Its a bit like the airport rat,fellas complaining when they get swords,and to make it worse,its to the customer they make their complaints. How unprofessional is that ? Always wondered why these drivers get an airport permit when they know they might just get swords.
-
a large part of the problem is the human element, cunts deliberately trying to antagonise drivers.
"It's not my fault I'm only going down the road/you must be raging i'd say/you have to take me/you can go back to the top of queue anyway" etc., etc.
-
But come on now,what the customer is saying is right as far as I know,they can join the q again.do you not think its unfrofessional to be making these compkaints to the customer ? Why get an airport permit if your not prepared to take the good, with the bad.if I own a corner shop,and a customer comes in and only buys a box of matches,I cant start abusing hin for it can I ? Im no fan of airport snatchers ether,but the keshies dont want short runs to swords,yet the go balistic if a snatcher takes one what is the customer supposed to do ?
-
An acquaintance of mine who lives in Swords always says Drogheda, declines the "special" rate and changes his mind to Swords before they get to the exit.
-
the point i'm making is that i have zero problem with with 4 euro fares as would any proper driver.
the problem is you get these cunts in the car that presume you do, start making cunty remarks, and start creating a problem where there is'nt one.
-
The Galwayman on Roy's Blog had a problem with short runs (presumably covered by rickshaws before the partial ban) - understandable if that's all you're getting after queuing for 3.75 hours, job after job, day after day, week after week, month after month, quarter after quarter, year after year, decade after decade, century after century.

Marxists/Commies...Commies love regulations and rules...and as the Russians living here will tell you........the more rules and regs there are the fewer law abiders there are.

I gotta agree with Mrs Munster, Shane "It's not my problem Boss" Ross has been dragging his heels on this fer years.
The NTA are well able to regulate the fook outta us, but seemingly they cant regulate rickshaws ??
-
Regulation isn't the same as a ban.I guarantee ya if they're regulated there will be more career rickshaw pilots
instead of taxi drivers ...eventually they'll start eating into the taxi work during the day shift with their own app or on one of the exsisting ones.
Up in Dublin when the Metro and all the express bus corridors are completed we'll be regretting ever allowing them to take our shitty small jobs.The truth is you can already get around town faster on a bicycle and we'd be fukked if they got their act together.
Ross says he's waiting on legal advice.I'm sure Rickshaws are at the bottom of the govwrnment priority list.

I think the concern is that, despite regulation, there are still thousands of men with serious criminal records driving taxis and thousands more whose criminal records cannot be ascertained and that, despite regulation, there are still thousands of taximen dealing drugs up above in Dublin. Hence regulation of the taxi trade is proof positive that effective regulation isn't possible within the current regulatory framework.
-
surely they should be also concerned that ll these Brazilian drug dealers are here illegaly ?
Most Brazilians hold Portugese Passports .
And yokes, sniff and gear are legit to abuse in Portugal.
-
100% WARs anyone ?
The Disability Act. (Gov. issued licence ignoring disabled rights to ride in rickshaws .....)
The Taxi Regulation Act . Plying for hire without a sealed taxi meter or anywhere other than at a taxi stand is illegal.
"The Louth TD said rickshaws are regulated in cities such as Vietnam, Copenhagen, Paris, Berlin, Frankfurt, Hanover, Hamburg, Budapest, Krakow, Milan, Rome, St Petersburg, Barcelona, Valencia and London." . Spot the odd city out.

Well spotted Bubba !

I agree with what you say Stephen, but as a licenced taxi driver I know that if I do any wrong to any customer of mine then all they need is my Roofie number, Reg number or Dash ID number to make a complaint to the NTA, Gardai or MyTaxi.
If a rickshaw driver does any wrong to his customers then there is no traceability at all.

If they ban them, then there will be more career Taxi drivers joining the fleet with ready cash to pay fer
Mini wheelies and insurance from the rickshaw trade.
MyTaxi will educate them how to pass the Taxi test and our government will give them a grant fer their
Wheelie. They might even pay their insurance fer them.
-
Think 5 years down the road.Even the most complicated shiny new Rickshaw will cost less to buy than a new entrant's taxi costs to insure.They have even lower running costs than an electric taxi.Which means they'll be able to charge less than us.They'll also have access to all the cycle paths in areas vehicles are forbidden from which most likey will be larger in the future.
In some respects they make a better taxi than actual taxis.All we need is some app like Uber or Deliveroo to see their potential.
Taxi drivers calling for regulation isn't very smart.
-
Rickshaws ain't very feasible in the rain or snow etc. Don't think they'll be banned outright but the Earl of Sandyford will have to do something to appease the chain-smoking, fatness fanatics.
-
Ya see yis are looking at the wanked out Rickhaws the Brazillians have.That's the Dacia Logan of Rickshaw world.The 7 up bikes have roofs and look kinda futuristic and we know they're eco friendly as it says it on the sides .Chinese love them and they have plenty of rain.Let's face it taxi drivers don't all work in the snow when it happens.Now that were being shackled by the ten-year rule there's no way I'd risk my nice Lexus or 33 grand Prius to make a quick deuce.The consequences of a serious crash are enough to put you off the road permanently.
If you take away all the short hops in between the canals and allow the Rickshaws in and then metro taking the Airport work we're left with a much smaller pie to fight over with the limo drivers come the next downturn.

From the Greens perspective you can visualise Eamon Ryan and co saying...when rickshaws are caught in traffic jams they emit no air pollution, waste no fuel, and make no noise. Ross has to do something but it won't be a ban, I'd wager.
The E-Rickshaw seems to be very popular in India and tropical countries. Something will give and Ross will claim a victory either way.

The legality of pedicabs
Pedicabs, or cycle rickshaws, provide transport for passengers on short, emission-free journeys.
The demand for this mode of transport has been strong, and pedicabs have become a colourful and vibrant part of the wider integrated transport network available in London. The regulations governing pedicabs outside of London have, however, made it difficult for this transport mode to develop to its full potential in other UK cities.
This article outlines the legal status of pedicabs across the UK.
In London
Pedicabs can legally operate in London as Stage Carriages under Section 4 of the Metropolitan Public Carriage Act 1869. This decision was made by the High Court in the case of R (oao Oddy) v. Bugbugs Ltd. As such, pedicabs can legally ply-for-hire in any street or place within Greater London. They must charge single and separate fares per passenger. The licensing provisions in Section 6 of the Act do not extend to Stage Carriages but apply only to Hackney Carriages. There are, therefore, no licensing provisions in legislation that apply to pedicabs in London.
Mr Justice Pitchford stated in 2003: “I recognise that the consequence of this decision is that the pedicab plying for hire in London is subject to no licensing regime. That may be regarded as an unwelcome consequence. The first respondent (Bugbugs) has submitted to the London Public Carriage Office a draft strategy for pedicab regulation and it is anticipated that a scheme will be prepared within the next few months. I comment only that unless my decision is wrong in law, primary legislation will probably be required”.
The Licensed Taxi Drivers’ Association sought leave to appeal the above decision in the House of Lords and approached Transport for London (TfL) to join them in the appeal. TfL declined in 2003 because they regarded the High Court decision as being sound.
In 2006, Transport for London sought a Declaratory Judgement in the administrative court to overturn the above judgement, which, if successful, would have changed the classification of pedicabs in London from Stage Carriages into Hackney Carriages. The proposal, after a Public Consultation, was to then license pedicabs as Hackney Carriages under S6 of the Metropolitan Public Carriage Act 1869. However, as stated at the Opposed Bills Committee in the Lords (Bill House of Lords) in 2009, TfL abandoned the case on the basis that after all it was inappropriate to license pedicabs in this manner.
Outside London
Outside London, pedicabs are classified as Hackney Carriages, they can therefore be licensed and can ply-for-hire (i.e. be available to passengers for immediate hire). This decision was made by the Court of Appeal in the case of R v Cambridge City Council ex parte Lane (1999).
The decision in this case was that pedicabs fall under the definition of a Hackney Carriage under the Town Police Clauses Act 1847 and, as such, must be licensed as Hackney Carriages. Fares are charged at a flat rate regardless of how many passengers are carried, in contrast to fares per passenger if operating as a Stage Carriage (in London).
The consequence of pedicabs being classified as Hackney Carriages outside London is that there are many difficulties in transposing hackney carriage regulations in order that they may apply equally to pedicabs. Many local authorities, some of which have been very keen indeed to set up or endorse pedicab services, have simply said ‘no’ to granting licences or given up on the basis that it is too difficult. In the rare places where pedicabs have been licenced, the regulations have been somewhat ‘skewed’ in order to shoehorn pedicabs into them.
In Scotland, again, the law is different. Pedicabs are operating successfully in Edinburgh and other cities in Scotland, licensed by local councils by means of Street Trading Licences. This has been reasonably successful and does provide a modicum of control. However, as far as we are aware, street trading regulations do not extend to mandatory insurance, conditions of fitness for pedicabs, and other measures one would expect of a formal licensing regime.
Enforcement
Due to the lack of regulation, there are very few regulations that the police can enforce. They have no powers in relation to lack of insurance, lack of training for riders, or pedicabs that aren’t fit for the purpose of carrying passengers. They can enforce the Cycle Construction and Use and Lighting regulations, but these are unclear with regard to pedicabs or indeed other three or four-wheeled cargo or work bikes. The police are limited to moving traffic regulations applicable to cyclists (e.g. careless cycling/jumping a red light) and wilful obstruction of the highway.
Moving towards regulation
In 2014, the Law Commission published a report on reforming Taxi and Private Hire Legislation, including the operation of pedicab services across the country. The report recommended to the government that riders of pedicabs in London should be licensed and subject to strict safety and training standards, with local authorities given powers to ban those who fail to meet national safety standards.
It is likely to be several years before any of the Law Commission recommendations are adopted, and should those recommendations lead to an effective ban on this mode of transport the pedicab industry has said it will seek to challenge. The industry has suggested an alternative route to regulation – which would involve the Secretary of State for Transport giving powers to local traffic authorities to license pedicabs by way of secondary legislation subject to certain conditions set out by parliament.
