the taxi team Posted November 30, 2008 Report Share Posted November 30, 2008 in this weeks guardian "pink ladies" have placed a advert (page 36). while i can not praise them enough for giving out some sound advice the females wanting to get home safe over the Christmas and new year period. i have a few concerns. the advert is Very misleading, they are telling you to phone WBC to check out a driver, vehicle or company, good advice but from one small point WBC cant check any details of a "pink ladies" vehicles or drivers as they are not licensed. there advert forgets to say this and some people would think they are legal due to them placing the advert.i can 100% confirm they are not legal to use for people who are paying for that service. the drivers or vehicles are not licensed by WBC or any other council as private hire or taxis and there for you will not be insured as fare paying passengers. the advice they give is good, and if you take there own advice you wont be using them at all.

Bazj Posted November 30, 2008 Report Share Posted November 30, 2008 what suprised me was that this so called "illegal" operator can take out an advert in the first place. As a side note; if the pink ones are operating illegally and WBC or the police will do absolutely nothing about the situation, why don't you taxi lot take a private prosecution against them for illegal operating? or are things not quite as black and white as everyone likes to make out?

Bazj Posted January 28, 2009 Report Share Posted January 28, 2009 nothing will be done as to many back handers are given out. Now that is quite a serious accusation there TD. Do you have proof of back handers? What gets me though is how could a twice bankrupt company (at least I think it is twice) would have any money left to give out back handers in the first place and why if they are only such a small company with a small target audience would they bother? It would be cheaper to go bust again! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tara_dad Posted February 4, 2009 Report Share Posted February 4, 2009 baz says Now that is quite a serious accusation there TD.
