srtaylo0 Posted October 17, 2023 Share Posted October 17, 2023 Given the state of the taxi drivers at the train station tonight - that day cannot come soon enough ! Whilst the roads aren’t the best design I don’t think that means taxi drivers can under take others on the approach road that passes the garage ? or even better drive onto the box junction heading into the station, drop their fare then attempt to do a u turn so blocking the junction. needless to say the was lots of car horns and consternation 😟 professional drivers my arse 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If they had to take a test for professional standards there wouldn't be any taxis. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If not, why are people able to put their and others lives at risk by travelling in vehicles under the control of these people? Surely this is wrong! How can you tout for and be paid for a professional driving job without professional driving qualifications? If they were found doing things wrong, surely they would get points on their licences and be banned for a while, so end up delivering leaflets or washing dishes for a year or so before being re-tested and allowed back on the road?

That's a moronic concept that will never work for the masses. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
