Now that ya reminded me Watty has anyone ever been done or heard of anyone getting done in a taxi for driving in the contraflow bus lanes?

I'm starting to think it's not a real thing as every weekend I see some foreign lads bating down the contra flow on Earslfort terrace.The passenger must think I'm going the longer legal way to squeeze more money out of them.

watty:
Is there a special symbol for courier jobs?  Can't say I've seen one yet?

I don't remember a symbol but there used to be an option on the older version of the app to opt in or out of delivery jobs.

Despite what is posted on here we're only paid to drive and can't be done for delivering something unless we know it's something dodgy.

Back when I was a courier there was a gaff in Ballyfernot dialing legit courier companies to deliver drugs.Stupid fukkers.Only lasted a week or two before they intercepted by the cops and raided.

The 'Courier' thing means nothing at the moment.  I had 2 over the weekend, 1 instant hail and 1 pre-book instant which some other driver had fired back, both were ordinary customer jobs on account.

Maybe the 1st instant hail customer had used the Reserve taxi option and been charged 3 Euro fer their mistake ??

I always thought I read in the rules that we couldn't carry packages. I always refuse to carry any.

There are no rules.Nobody cares what were doing as long as we follow the rules of the road.

what if you start carrying packages for someone say once a week and get pulled. Do you not think you would be a suspect, if it turns out to be drugs?

No if that was the case there would be no DHL or FED Ex or whatever.It's not the type of work I'd be chasing anyway.Yer not part of the drugs squad so don't be thinking about these things.Do ya think the train driver from Cork to Dublin cares how many potential packages with drugs might be on his trian in the cargo section.

If I was sending drugs around the last cunt I'd be allowing to look after it is some taxi driver.Taxi drivers gossip more than the women.The secret wouldn't be a secret for long.

I think you're making the mistake of believing what was put in the newspaper.What happens in real life is usually much less interesting.

I know the newspapers add to stories and make stuff up but he was caught moving packages for a drugs gang. How was he to know what was in the packages?

I'd imagine the Guards would know quick enough that you'd be innocent  but they'd still keep you in the station for 24 hours just for the devilment.  That loss of 24 hours would be the downer.  And the women round my way are professional gossips so they'd work it out quick enough that you got lifted.  No smoke without fire 'n all that, they'd be tut-tutting over the hedge.
