Soilage charge for a 4yo puker?
« on: May 27, 2018, 05:51:44 pm »
Got quizzed today by a mom who obviously been charged the soilage charge when her 4 year old puked in someone's taxi.  Was it legal, she wanted to know?

I didn't know but I said I wouldn't charge if a child got sick.  Children will be children and do crazy things, I said.  I further opined, as one does, that I thought the soilage charge was really only for pissheads who couldn't control themselves.

So what do youse think?  Does the soilage charge apply to everybody, regardless of age?  Even a pet dog etc?  And would you charge the parents of a child if it got sick in your taxi?

no it's illegal. as she well knows i could get in to the back of her car while she's stopped at traffic lights, hose the interior down with slash and then get out and be on my merry way.

The age of legal consent inIreland is 12 years of age .So the Soilage Charge would not be enforceable by Law .

Are you still entitled to charge the soilage charge if the puker offers to clean the car out themselves.they usually offer to do it,and how can you insist on the charge then ?

Yes. It has to be professionally cleaned.

The age of legal consent inIreland is 12 years of age .So the Soilage Charge would not be enforceable by Law .

Passengers are jointly and severally liable for the fare... and, your contract is with the person who hired you.

Can you show me some legal basis for your assumption ?

I was informed buy a sergeant in Bray Garda station that it is a criminal offence to sell a taxi
What does it say on your fare card
There is no mention of what substance soiled the inside of your car.
Puke, piss, shit, blood, burgers coleslaw curry sauce, Beer, wine , no mention of the amount of soil,
Soil is soil,
No mention of age, or gender,
Soiling charge maximum€ 140
 The word Maximum is a load of bollocks.
It's A 140 yo yos period end of.

"Soiling – a fee may be charged where a passenger either soils the vehicle or damages it so much that the driver has to take it out of service or has to pay to have it cleaned or repaired. The maximum such fee is €140, but the actual fee charged may be lower – it should reflect the costs reasonably incurred by the operator."

Age of Criminal Responsibility. On 16 October 2006, under the Children Act 2001, the age of criminal responsibility was effectively raised from 7 to 12 years. Under the new provisions, no child under the age of 12 years can be charged with an offence.

Parent cannot be charged for a kid vomiting in a vehicle....call the cops and they'll laugh at you as the only person who can be fined is the puker, which is a kid, which is anyone under 18....nobody under 18 can enter a legal contract without permission. You can try shaming the parent into a fine but they are entitled to report you and look for compensation....and they will get it!

I would like to challenge the posters assertion on age of legal consent M'Lud.

Whether or not he's considering a change of religion, or a child bride.
