I'm respectful to the gimps...go the shortest route.Drive like a limo nice and smooth.Take the money then on to the next passenger.I don't care if I see them again.I do not want repeat business.Never ever give out my details.There are thousands of other lads who operate the exact same way and we're doing alright.If it's not broken don't be trying to fix it.
OK the man who borrowed the bag off the man I borrowed the bag off done the Suitability yesterday and now it seems the Insurance companies are now requiring an engineers report on screens .I got this third hand not from the man himself .Has anybody actually Contacted the Insurers not the Brokers for a definitive ruling ?
Scottish taxi drivers are asking for urgent clarity on anti-coronavirus measures for private hire cabs. Taxi owners want the Scottish government to intervene and allow them to install protective screens in their vehicles. The drivers' trade association wants to use a crash tested screen design which has been approved by insurance companies and which is already allowed by some English councils. No official guidance has been given.
The Office for National Statistics in England found that security guards, chefs and taxi drivers were the most vulnerable professions in terms of Covid-19 death rates, with male taxi drivers dying at a rate of more than 36 per 100,000. United Private Hire Drivers which represents many drivers in Scotland says there have been six coronavirus deaths among private hire and taxi drivers north of the border, with half of them in Glasgow. Barry Sloan, the association's Glasgow rep, was shocked by the deaths and is now demanding that something is done to protect private hire drivers across Scotland.
