    Wasnt too bad, some muppets had it in for me the second they stepped in the car, complaining that were all robbing scumbags for a journey that the meter traveled up by 2.45, but my last passanger put me in better form, like i said ya gotta be tough skinned for this game. :)

    It is tough out there no matter what,

    mark2000ie, your gonna find it tough compared to the good auld days of the late 90's, but no matter what any taxi driver says to you no matter how much people tell ya how bad it is (and it is) the only way your going to find out how things are is untill ya go out for yourself and find out the hard way.

    A friend of mine is going to do it now as he has been given his 4-week notice from his job, i took a hour off on sat nite and showed him town and he couldnt belive his eyes, but still he wants to make a go at it, as theres no jobs going in what he wants to do, i think most new taxi drivers coming on stream are going into the game not for want but need.

    Its quite amuseing to see people on here asking each other for the answers to test questions..
    The whole idea of the test is that the person sitting the exam has the required knowledge of various streets in order that he or she is a compendent taxi driver .By simply asking someone for the answers defeats that purpose .

    surely the posting of questions helps as i did not see any answers, so it makes you research. As they say you learn something new every day, hey oisin your not Kathleens son are you.

    It's not the answers people are looking for it's the questions.
    So they still have to go and learn the answers.
    Also when u did ur test it was 12€ a go the new one
    is 85€ that's a big jump. Also the license fee is now €250.
    So far it's cost me €920. And Im still about 4 weeks away from
    getting on the road.:eek:

    I'll say this to you ,and i mean it sincerely ,,If you have a job at the moment stick with it or if you are on the dole stay on it until you get something better ...Going into the taxi business will destroy you .If you do go ahead you will not be able to claim the dole IF you then try and get out of the taxi business...
    If i were you i wouldnt bother getting in to it ,mark my words it will be the worse thing you ever did and a waste of whatever money you have ..

    Well i've not worked for 4 months, I can't get the dole because
    I was self-employed. And if I don't get out of the house I think I
    might kill someone.

    I agree oisin . My father got me into the game. I am glad i moved over to the taxi business but now after 2.5 years I have hit a brick wall. It gets so repetive and depressing. Ive stopped working the weekends because I never got to see my partner and when I did i snapped over stupid things.

    ps howya you will regreat giving anyone help with the questions in a few months or weeks trust me when you get out on that road lol. i cant wait till u do get out and honestly tell us how u get on
