Another instance of stopping the meter was the Christmas before last where a young lad directed me to his home, he had barfed in the back along the way but I said nothing till I had his address, the fare was 12Euro and I demanded that plus the 140 soiling charge, he legged it in to a small wooded area at the end of his park, I sat in the cab and called the gardai, I let the meter run to 15 then stopped it, as it's a basic fare of 12 to 13Euro from town to Maryboro hill and I didn't want to be showing the gardai a 20Euro fare when they arrived.
