20% fails

[silverbullet]

I'd believe it, I've seen some vans with duck tape holding them together and wondered how they passed.

That's why MYTAXI branding and stickers come in handy.

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.

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 ??

[Cool Boola]

Why has it taken them so long to cop on to this money spinner?

[dalymount]

I donno,but I heard they are gone absolute cunts up there,and particularly greenhills

[mercenary for hire]

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.

[dalymount]

Me. Pensioner  scum ?? Wash yer mouth out

[mercenary for hire]

Are ye not a pensioner from the last job.Ah sorry..

[dalymount]

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

[Vikkiz]

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 ?

[dalymount]

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 ?

[Belker]

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.
