i'm v surprised at max cabs concern for health & safety seeing as some of their drivers are so bad - wrong way on 1 way street, jumping lights, no seat belts, smoking, no indication, pulling out, etc
Regards firms trying to extort more fare. I once shared taxi back from burnley with some girls. We agreed the fare, set off then he wanted more, we argued, he threatened to abandon us. A cunning plan formed. Dropped off 1 at huncoat at which point he demanded the fare. I gave him half, journey continued, gave him directions to drop me off, told him to pull over, gave him rest of original fare, got out & told him if he wanted to argue to go in there - accy police station. Look on his face priceless ! I went & sat inside til he cleared off. Cops laughed their heads off. then i reported him to burnley taxi licensing.
