Statistics from the NTA says,20% failure rate on the SGS.I told yis that fukkin test is harder to pass then the NCT

I'd say the whinging bollocks those poor fellas must have to listen to must be desperate.
much worse than the nct fellas.
-
I saw that today on their email, 20% sounds excessive.
We all know the rules and they are not the hardest rules in the world to comply with.
With the help of Utube and Ebay almost all small issues can be resolved fer pittance, fer example I had a small dent in me passenger door, so I went on Utube to find out how to fix it, then went to Ebay and bought a Bridge dent puller fer 5.71 from China.
Silver paint repair stick from China, I can't remember the price but it was pittance.
Car seat covers, a full set from Malaysia 15 bucks, (Easy on, easy off).
Foil blanket fer my safety kit, 1Euro from China.
All these very cheap items will get you through suitability.
-
If you fail on any of them your a fucking thick

A few year ago the guy beside me failed...i asked the inspector why.....he had a torch inside his roofsign for the light for the test.

Sure you have 12 months since your last test to sort it out
-
I saw the newsletter too. Sounds like you just need to wash your car and make sure the safety kit in the boot is alright and that'll cover 90% of the fails.
Oh, and make sure you spell your name right on the insurance cert.

Get there early, if they take you and something is wrong, you may have time to buy or fix the problem. They can't fail you before the appointment time !!

Above is the full (revised) list of what needs to be in your safety kit.
Photo taken from the suitability center in Cork.
Fer me before next suitability I will be taking that photo above and my safety kit in to my local chemist and let the pharmacist sort it all out because I haven't a clue what most items on that list are.

I do often wonder the same, as in the Foil blanket I bought fer a single Euro with Free P+P,
manufactured in China and delivered to Ireland, it doesen't make sense ??

Maybe so, but I would advise that you have all your equipment in order before suitability or else you will be paying the 'Money makers' fer a re-test. Between the information you got from the suitability office and all the information that is shared on here, realistically nobody on here should ever fail a suitability test.
As Vikkiz stated you would want to be; "Fookin Thick" to fail suitability and I would totally agree with him.

I also bought this lovely fur-lined denim jacket from China, originally it was fer meself as 2XL, but 2XL in china is either M or L in Ireland, so me smallest fella got it fer his 16th birthday and he was delighted with it.
I had a look at the jacket when it arrived and guessed that a jacket of that quality would easily retail fer a Ton or more in any high street store, but from China with Free P+P, 40 Bucks !

That place beside the Guinness Storehouse has all the medical stuff including the foil blanket in a sealed box,I think it's about 15 blips.

Since when do we need a foil blanket ? I got no notification of that ?

Ya did ! I told yiz all about it a month ago !
Or you can go to suitability without One and state your claim that you were not officially informed of it,
most likely it will fall on 'Deaf ears' and you will be charged a re-test fee with another appointment.
-
Ken .with respect .its not up to tou to inform drivers,its up to the NTA, to do so.if they have failed to do that,then they can not reasonably expect drivers to pass this test in the firstUK pla e

If I get through this particular test with what I have,I wont have to worry because ill be gone out of the game this tine next year

De-lighted no doubt? 8)

Was talking to a bloke from a certain meter fitting company today.he was telling me the amount of fails lately in the SGS is completely unprecedented.he said they are failing cars for the least little thing.he told it turns out certain inspectiors were taking backhanders to pass cars and were caught.I dont know how true that is,but thats what he told me
-
laffin.
-
I'd believe it, I've seen some vans with duck tape holding them together and wondered how they passed.

Or you could you’d buy the one in LIDL FOR €6.99. And yes it passes all the requirements
-
Here's a question for yis. If tou go up for the test and you fail on lets say something like a door decal.when tou come back ,having sorted the problem out,do they only re_ examine what you failed on,or do they do the complete test again ??
-
Why has it taken them so long to cop on to this money spinner?
-
I donno,but I heard they are gone absolute cunts up there,and particularly greenhills
-
Daly yer making me anxious reading about yer door decal every few days..it only costs about 50 notes for a brand new set.Nothing for pensioner scum like you!
They're mainly failing lazy fuks who don't clean their car properly.Not really a big deal.
-
Me. ??? Pensioner scum ?? Wash yer mouth out
-
Are ye not a pensioner from the last job.Ah sorry..
-
My last job was the enployment appeals tribunal ,I only spent a year there

DM I was failed a few months back for not having the hubcaps back on and also a Bubbly/dirty door sticker.
He said at the time he would be checking everything again when I got these resolved. Irish Cnut at that
-
If you fail, you fail FULL STOP. You then pay for a full retest, which means everything gets checked again
-
If I get through this particular test with what I have,I wont have to worry because ill be gone out of the game this tine next year
Where are ya off to DM ?
-
Not going anywhere ,but the way things are at the moment,if a driver is not signed up with a dispatcher,he will be forced out of the game.as I have said before,I would NEVER NEVER NEVER give a dispatcher control of my business.I know drivers think its the right thing to do,but its not for me.I only hope that sometiime in the future,the drivers will come tp the conclusion they have made a dreadful mistake by giving control of their businesses to these people.I have always felt they are not needed in the game,but deivers felt otherwiseand there is nothing I can do about that.so you see as far as im concerned,the writing is on the wall,and if I get one more year out of this game ill be satisfied.

I'm not fully understanding all that DM, Firstly your saying;"Your not going anywhere" And then adding;"I get one more year out of this game ill be satisfied." ??
I understand and respect your grievance against the base owners, I don't agree with it all as a lot of base owners provide work to drivers to maintain their households, but SOME are Greedy Scum exactly the same as a lot of Taxi drivers and Taxi renters are Greedy Scum too.
My understanding was that you had your own plot in Dublin where you had enough street flag-downs to keep you off the ranks and base's ? Maybe I read that wrong ?
-
Fer me, I don't worry too much about anyone else, I left me base of 9 years about a year n a half ago, I'm a MyTaxi Ambassador now and Love it, It costs me nothing, actually they paid me 100 notes to join, more work than I could ever handle and on a 'Take it or Leave it' basis and no one looking over your shoulder or shouting down the mic at you. If ya fancy the Job then press Accept, if ya don't then press Decline. And if at times you don't wanna work it at all and prefer the Street work, then just go 'Busy', no one looking or asking any questions.
-
:: yes thats true ,I do have a certain area I work.I got belfast from the fleetwood mac concert last week,and navan the next night.but the point im making is,I dont see it lasting. Street work is becoming ever harder to aquire because most drivers are aligned,and most customers are signed up to a dispatcher. When I say in not going anywhere,I mean I wont be taking on another job outside of the taxi industry.Ken I have said before many times,my problem with dispatchers is,they treat the drivers like employees when in fact the drivers actually employ them.the only function of a dispatcher is to provide work to the drivers who pay them to do so.it is not to tell drivers what to wear,how much to charge,and the one I REALLY cannot get my head around is disciplining drivers for certain things.a fella was telling me recently that a certain cab company in Dublin whos drivers ILLEGALLY stand for hire in hotel car parks has this fukking henchman called James who regularly visits the hotels to check that the drivers are doing what their told.what kind of fukkin self employed idiots agree to this kind of shite ?
-
I do agree that mytaxi operate in a way where the driver calls the shots,so for that reason I would not be opposed to their success if dispatchers must be part of the game.I personally do not believe that dispatchers are nessesary,but I am glad they recognize the driver is king
-
"but I am glad they recognize the driver is king"
Life must be good on your home planet. their sole objective is our redundancy, unlike traditional despatchers for as long as it lasts.
-
Despatcher's commission is at the very least 3% less, and could be as high as 5% less if they kept the work.
-
Bob I keep saying my gripe with dispatchers has never been anything to do with commision,it. has ALWAYS been to do with the fact that they treat drivers like their employees.is it not also the case,that in addition to the 100 plus a week for the radio,that you have to give them a percentage of each nnob as well.also do you not have to pay for a uniform to advertise THEIR company ??
-
"100 plus a week for the radio,that you have to give them a percentage of each nnob as well.also do you not have to pay for a uniform to advertise THEIR company"
All incorrect. Base fee is a fraction of €100, a 10% discount is the biggest discounted job that I have been offered with no obligation to do it, and that was off one of the few of their remaining very big accounts. Discounts are largely gone. Never worn a uniform, never seen another driver wear one. I would need a salary, 5 weeks paid holidays, pension, shares, and free health insurance to even consider wearing a uniform.
-
NEC were giving HSE 42% discount.
Blue cabs were giving 37% discount to HSE.

Michaels Dunlaoire to Vincent's Merrion fixed fare €15, metered at €15.30 on tariff 2
-
Lynk,
€79 base fee
€2 on account jobs
€2 on hospitality jobs
10% on account jobs
7.9% on credit card jobs
I worked it out that I WAS paying €120 a week and I certainly wasn’t making €1000 from them

Never, ever considered employing the EBBssssss. Guessing that the majority of the fleet would be package renters not born in Europe?

Ebbs always has his favourites.
The clincher for me was him telling the Bluecab drivers that his App was autonomous, but if a country job came in then they would get a phone call?
Not very autonomous.
An App would throw the job into the Piranha pool.
-

No discounts on HSE work now, well in Cork anyway.
Full metered fare.
-
Base fee fer me fer many years in Cork was 110, Satelitte charge circa 135 and all the rest are about the 110 mark or at least they were about Two years back.
Only Two (of the top 3 ) cab companies require uniforms Co-op and Satelitte, Co-op hand out the uniform shirts, jumper and jackets fer Free.
My last base had a lorra staff jobs at up to 50% discount and a lot of set fares at a lesser rate. Cork to Dublin airport was a set of 300 fer hotels even though on the meter it would be about 500.
No PUC allowed on any job (which was largely ignored).
-
With MyTaxi I usually pay about 60 a week in freight and hover around the 50'ish job mark, I don't do Bed logos so no hospitality charges and I turn it on and off when I like, and save about a Tenner a week in fuel and car wash discounts.
When your with a base you have to 'Hide' every night when the streets are busy.

I pay around 50-60/week as well but I never even get to bronze status! Just checked - I did less than 35 MT jobs last week.
What percentage commission are you paying? You're an ambassador IIRC? Is an ambassador basically full-time on MT?
-
I pay a ton fifty a week!
-
I pay a ton fifty a week!
??? ??? ???
Pay between 40 & 60 to MT
-
Just think ,if you went out and got your own work,you
wouldnt have to pay anyrhing at all
-
I'd probably be down 6 or 7 a week though.
-
My 80 jobs a week pay 160 in puc.My commission is 150.Tell me how I'd be better off?
-
Im sure the revenue commissioners will tell ya. Anyway I dont think a public forum is the place to be discussing approximately how much you make on a weekly basis.
-

@ DM, you told us the other day that there wasn't enough street work left to keep even you going in your juicy plot in Dooblin !!

You only need 12 jobs fer Bronze Watty, 36 fer Silver and 60 fer Gold. I'm not that bothered about rank status level as it only affects how quickly you see pre-books and generally speaking I seldom bother with the pre-book screen.
Commission fer Ambassadors is the same 12% as regular scum but we get to see the instant hails a few seconds ahead of ye, apart from that we are all the same as in accept or decline as you wish, work it or not as you wish.
-
I'd probably be down 6 or 7 a week though.
Stick with what your doing VD, your putting us all to shame !

Here's the numbers fuk it...150 a week commission translates to 1250 on the app.
1250-150=1100 in the bank.
Let's assume he gets cash tips off the app to cover his lunches and the odd car wash.
1100-250? car rental is 850
850-120 fuel is 730.
Then maybe a 100 a week for tax?.
So if your chasing every job you might be lucky to clear 630.
I was making more than that as a bike courier 15 years ago.
600 is what most labourers get on the sites.Bus drivers get bout the same.
All good until the economy slows then you'll be lucky to take home 4/500 after deductions.Hardly worth boasting about IMO.I'm not trying to be insulting but new lads are being fed a load of shit from Mytaxi telling them they'll be loaded.
-
Sure didnt Kearns do the same ??
-
Unfortunately they're still at it.
-
Ken your wrong. What I said was ,the situation is Getting that way that there will not be enough work for the likes of me on the street.however I did specify that I expect that to be the case IN A YEARS TIME .im ok at the moment,but I said if I get another year out of it I'll be happy

Throw in some cash work work and he will be well over a grand a week
-
1250 over 40 hours is 31.50 gross per hour.I think it would be very difficult to consistently hit those numbers for every hour of your shift.And to find another tenner an hour off the street would be hard to do.Unless he's covering more hours than 40 I can't see it happening.
-
Let’s say you do 40 hours a week.
What happens towards the end of the week, let’s say at 8pm on a Saturday night you reach your 40 hours
Do you go home or work on ?

Work on but don't tell anyone, I know where your coming from with Health and Safety regs.
Probably come a time when there is tacos fitted to taxis !

So join MyTaxi !
I was the greatest I.T. dinosaur ever on here a few years back but it was mainly 'Roy' from the old forum and many others who talked me in to and how to get started on Hailo with an Iphone 5 at the time and I did need at lot of talking through it but I got all the help required on here and I have never looked back.

^^^^As far as I can recall VD was the one saying he only does 40 hours.

No nothing to do with it.
Some blokes on here do 40 hours some 12 hours and others do none.
Just wanted to know if a driver reaches his quota of hours half way into his shift does he stop and go home or does he work on.

Until they understand the difference between earning and churning the myth will keep on going.

Ive addressed all the problems I needed to in order toto pass this poxy suitability test,but now I have noticed a series of cracks in one of the panels in the roof sign.are they likely to fail me on that ??

All good until the economy slows then you'll be lucky to take home 4/500 after deductions.Hardly worth boasting about IMO.I'm not trying to be insulting but new lads are being fed a load of shit from Mytaxi telling them they'll be loaded.
Until they understand the difference between earning and churning the myth will keep on going.
For those who think the economy is going to slow down over the next few years and are afraid they may not make a bean.
I’ve said this on numerous occasions, go into The School Transport Office and tell them you want to do a school run.
It could be worth 150k over a 5 year contract.

^^^^^^Just put the car through the test see what happens.They only really check the bulbs to see if they're working.Give the car a good clean and they'll see that your trying.I doubt they're deliberately trying to fail lads.
If I had to bring kids to school they'd not be getting there until 2pm JM....I'm not bothered about a slow down but just like to remind lads that it's gonna happen.At least if they're expecting it they won't try to jump off a bridge or do something stupid.

Have enough work to keep me going for years.
