You seem to forget that I had the unfortunate incident of having to deal with The DAA and a certain taxi driver who made it from the Airport to D13 and back in 19 minutes & 43 seconds and the details they can get from cameras is very good,
Do tell....i musta missed that memo!!
I’ll try explain.
Wife returned from work trip, stupid o’clock in the morning, got taxi from airport to house, driver sped down M1, through red lights at M1/R139 junction, flew down R139, through red lights at a Hilton. Arrived at house and seeing taxi in driveway said his printer was broken and gave written receipt and chucked the bags on the ground, including laptop bag.
So I emailed the DAA about, and got a response that The DAA don’t regulate the taxis and they are independently operated and licensed by The NTA.
I responded by saying that I was myself a taxi driver, and that I knew they used the Easy Trip tag system to monitor taxis and that I knew they could tell me if my wife had left a passport in a taxi which taxi it was fairly swiftly.
I received a phone call from someone in the taxi division in the DAA, he simply asked, date, time, which terminal, what colour bags and what colour coat/jacket/jumper she was wearing that morning, along with the colour and make/model of car we suspected it was. I furnished them with the information and they came back with 3 possible taxis it might have been but as soon as we described what the driver looked like they knew exactly which one it was.
He apparently got a warning from The DAA and I had exchanged a few words with him a while later.
He was none best pleased that I worked out who he was but thanks to Rats Database I was able to narrow the driver down myself
