Tamper Proof Disks

[dalymount]

I assume the reason they want to get the discs back is to insure a driver cannot work while he has no discs ? If that is the case ,it foes to show a complete lack of trust on the part of the NTA,inspite of the fact that a good conmunity spirit has been shown by most other organisations towards rhe people who rule them.

[Shallowhal]

Yes but it is the NTA who are insisting you send back the discs,not welfare,so how is it two different issues ?

The NTA are doing what they do and asking drivers to do it but Welfare are doing what they do and watching drivers who are doing what they normally do when they shouldn't be doing it cos they're getting 350.

Dollyer you would struggle making Tea .Forget about Covid .The NTA do not allow a car act as a licenced taxi if it does not have taxi insurance ,So in line with their rule no insurance no taxi ,no taxi no discs .

Now Part 2 .If you claim the Covit or are not insured you need to remove your roofie and decouple from the app.

I do claim the payment,I have removed myroof sign,I have broken the link,I am not nor have not worked for nearly 6 months now bar a 2 week period are you saying I have a further obligation ?

Have you asked your insurance company to remove the SPSV part of your insurance?

If you altered your insurance then you no longer have the legal right to call yourself a taxi so you must return your discs and blue licence .and return them to an address in Galway check the website .If you cant read get somebody else to do it for you .

No need for sarcasm,John point taken

No and yes .You must delink from the app .Just do it ring them up or e mail .Remove your roofie even if parked in your garden .The removal from the app is a NTA requirement deal with welfare later if the issue arises .Two totally different issues.

My roofsign is in the boot and my insurance was paid when the restrictions came in so I didn't see any advantage in de-linking.  I didn't read the single line in the mid-April email about de-linking either.

Problem for me is I have family who live outside of Dublin.  In case of emergency, I figured I could stick the roofsign on (essential service) and get through any roadblocks.  Probably a bit moot as it turned out.  An 80yr old in-law (non-taxi) drove 50kms and told the Guards he was going up to do his (50yr old) daugher's gardening.  They let him through...

Also, I can prove I wasn't working because I printed out a receipt (with job number) from the tamper-proof meter when the restrictions started.  If I printed another receipt today (2 months later), it would be job number+1.

Stop crowing about stickers. NTA will show forbearance.

Only problen you have there Watty is if you are seen on the road with a roofie you would be deemed to be for hire (working ) hope you do not have to travel

I 'll print a shift report for the period showing no jobs done..

[watty]

I don't know how to do that and I'm not sure my meter does it either. 
Laffin' - I can't remember what type I meter I have!

Yis are overthinking all this.Welfare aren't stupid.If you got a letter they most likely saw you cruising empty or on a rank or dropping/picking up somewhere.Not just once but a few times.

If you don't get a letter don't worry about it.I've never seen the same questions asked so many times.

The lads getting letters are getting them for a reason.Let's see how many forum members who weren't actually working get letters.My plate is inactive over 5/6 weeks now and I've gotten no letters.

Did ya send back your discs MFH ?
