Could be a perfect storm for us?  The economy is improving (since Covid) so the renters have taxis to rent.  FN/Uber are screaming (on Newstalk) for yellow-pack drivers who'll work all the hours and now there's an insurance company perfectly placed to insure these newbie drivers & shouting about it in all the regional papers!

If you read their Blurb they refer to NEW drivers being charged between 10and 15K for insurance .They are looking for high value NEW Drivers they offer a Black Box like the Kids with first year Licences get to reduce their insurance cost .Does anybody know any ESTABLISHED driver with this crowd ?They are trying to create a market not compete in an existing one .
All the while these black boxes are gathering DATA for sale.

Careless.
If it doesn't have a roof sign and door stickers it's not a taxi.
