beansforyou Posted April 20, 2017 Share Posted April 20, 2017 Have you ever followed one of those huge old green school buses? Although from the back they're hard to define through the black smoke. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cyclone Posted April 27, 2017 Share Posted April 27, 2017 I was thinking exactly the same thing as I followed a smoking black cab yesterday. The police have the power to pull them over for emissions. I wish they would use it. ---------- Post added 20-04-2017 at 15:33 ---------- Don't you breathe? Lungs work, it's the brain you need to check!

Flexo Posted April 28, 2017 Share Posted April 28, 2017 From 1st January 2018 all new black cabs in London must be electric. The policy was first announced in 2015. When will Sheffield do the same? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sedith Posted April 28, 2017 Share Posted April 28, 2017 Ban diesels from the city centre ... excellent idea ... but this must include buses, taxi's ande trains! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When will Sheffield do the same? What about all the private hire vehicles that are not black cabs? It seems unfair to pick on one group of vehicles (and make them even less competitive), and not another. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

*_ash_* Posted April 29, 2017 Share Posted April 29, 2017 Would like to know where lots of taxis in Sheffield get them tested! Keep following taxis with black smoke pouring out of the exhaust that surely would never pass an emissions test..........some funny business going on! Easy.. they're called 'pass for cash' garages. .......so drivers and garages involved with criminal activity then? Sheffield taxis are tested by Sheffield Council.

tinfoilhat Posted April 29, 2017 Share Posted April 29, 2017 Sheffield taxis are tested by Sheffield Council. Who are, and let me be quite clear on this, well trained, using the latest equipment and honest as the day is long. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SCC might be corrupt, but the testers are very strict, and I've been tested by them for 17 years, mostly twice a year because I can't afford new cars. Someone saying they can be paid off is nonsense, I'm stating that quite clearly. What Puggie says about dodgy MoTs is ironic considering his support for app based taxi companies that DO have the availability of these dodgy MoT stations, and is quite frankly laughable in irony.

I think you'll find most of the black smoke being reported on this thread is being attributed to Hackney carriages (taxies) not private hire vehicles.
