Dave Hedgehog Posted November 5, 2022 Share Posted November 5, 2022 Good to see after his campaign he is taking the opportunity to not pay his tax twice a year instead of just once. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If not worth anything crush them The vehicles were "seized" by police. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

One of them got written off on saddle road by a pensioner who hit it. I happened upon the accident at the time. I can’t remember the detail now, isn’t he in dispute with the insurance over this too?

They just need to ticket everyone every 6 weeks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Numbnuts Posted November 5, 2022 Share Posted November 5, 2022 The guy is just a complete idiot , no sympathy from me. Got too much history with this sort of thing. Take his taxi licence of him and that would sort him. Ohhh and lock him up . 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You have to think that the RTLC should be looking at his suitability to hold a taxi license. With his serial offences and convictions you have to ask whether he’s the sort of bloke who’s likely to keep his insurance, maintenance etc. up to date. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They wouldn't take the licence off a guy who drove his taxi at someone at the airport (and also has several previous for verbal and physical altercations). What makes you think they'd do anything here? Actual quote when I asked them about suspending/withdrawing licences was "Well we can't take their licence off then because its their livelihood" No wonder they think they can get away with anything Edited November 5, 2022 by yorik Extra bit 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tuono Posted November 5, 2022 Share Posted November 5, 2022 He’s just a simple tosser who thinks he’s above the law. Not an ounce of sympathy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
