If he meant something else maybe I'm the racist?

What a mean spirited trick

quazzie. thank you, you're spot on, bt yes thats what i meant, i encounter people during a nights work, and the stories that they tell me about certain people, are unreal, and from my own perspective in relation to driving thay are just plain dangerous, no indication, no manners on the road, nothing

bigmc84 · 12-11-2008 01:58PM

i thought so, as i said i'm a taxi driver myself, and i can in honesty say, i wouldn't have done it, the c**t was probably stuck in traffic aswell, the problem at the moment is tha t people just aren't making enough complaints, i had a woman in my car over the weekend and until i explained it to her, she had no idea how to even distinguish a legit taxi from a dodgy one, (the discs and all that),

Trouble is that the customer shouldn't realy be having to go to the trouble of reading the small print on a yellow disc to see if the taxi is licensed or to getting the driver to show then their ID card which both at night are virtualy impossible for the casual observer to tell if legit or not. Far better if the Gards actualy started to set up more Taxi check points, it's no hardship for me ( as a taxi driver ) to stop, put the meter on stop, show my license, answer any questions, even do a breathalyser and then continue on, IF it means we can rid the streets of taxis plying for areas they aren't licensed for, taxis that are being driven by unlicensed drivers, taxis that are unroadworthy ( I'm not talking about sidelights being out! even though technicaly it would be unroadworthy ) with bald tyres,dangerous damaged bodywork etc. In my opinion the small hassle of Taxi Check points would be worth it in the long run, even more so when we get up to the supposed Xmas rush....

i know man, i know, i'm only at this a short while now, eight months, i've yet to go through a checkpoint where there is an inspector present, and what i as gettin at was the fact that even though someone might not be able to make out the details, at least if they know theres spposed to be a sticker it's half the battle, theres a lot to be said for the old taxi i.d photos, ya couldn't mistake a mug with them,

yup. best drivers in the world they are, did you know they are rumoured to have psychic powers?? they can implant the thought in your nut that they are going to turn, or stop dead in the middle of the road, without them even having to signal, isn't that cool(sadly no emoticon good enough to impart feeling of intense immense sarcasm,) but i think ye get the jist of it

Tbh your sister's boyfriend was a gobshíte for giving him any money at all.

2 friends of mine were in Naas a month ago and got a taxi to and from the pub now on the way back the taxi driver became roudy and the two girls felt very unsafe so asked to get out of the car and he stopped and they got out, he got out and pinned one of them up against the car(a girl might I add), the other asked for his taxi number and started ringing the guards, he hopped into the car and sped off! Some god dam pr!cks of taxi drivers out there and no not all of them are bad!

**** man, the only thing to do there is watch out for him again, if he tried it once he'll do it again, did they even notice what type of car? or colour maybe?

They did, they were too shook up about it when they told me so I don't know the car/colour but one of them had bruisin from him afterwards. It was a coloured dude is all I know-no I'm not a racist before I get branded one. But they're very weary of getting into a taxi now!

I seem to remember a few threads where taxi drivers said that the overall taxi service was going to go rapidly downhill when it reached a tipping point, only for the suggestion to be pooh poohed by the general populous of AH.

Now I won't for one minute say that the service was as good as it could or should have been but in my opinion it was a darn sight better than it appears to be at the moment. The only improvement seems to be that you can stick your arm up and have a plethera of taxis stop for you and you can then take your choice. As to wether you're going to get ripped off, taken miles from where you want to go and dumped, abused, beaten up, raped, murdered I honestly don't know but it seems the chances of it happening are on the increase...

Yeah, they definitely have psychic powers. I know this because that's the only way I can see how the guy driving me a few weeks ago managed to avoid rear-ending the Irish taxi driver who decided to stop for a fare while in the middle of turning from O'Connell bridge onto Eden Quay.

Oh, sorry, I----.

Wagon · 13-11-2008 04:16PM

I couldn't give a **** if the driver is yellow, once they can drive.

Zangetsu · 13-11-2008 04:23PM

They have yellow taxi's now? I really hate those American style cabs...

So my sister left a pub on Wexford Street on Thursday night and hopped into a taxi to head home. The taxi had only pulled out onto the road when she realised that her purse, camera and phone were not in her bag (they had been stolen while in the bar). She wanted to run back to the pub as her friends were still there and see if her stuff could be found (wishful thinking). She told the driver her purse was gone and she had to get out. They had only moved about 5 metres at this stage. He demanded €4 for the fare. She explained she had zero cash. He got aggressive and was raising his voice, he said he'd dive back around to the pub. So they went around the block, he still had the meter running even though she said she wanted out. So they arrive back where they started. Now he's demanding €9. She gets out and walks into the pub and he tries to follow her in. The bouncers wouldn't let him in. Anyway, my sisters boyfriend goes out with €20 to pay the c**t. He gives €5 change and walks off. He had to follow the driver to the car and demand the rest of the change. The driver flings a few coins out of the window onto the path and drives off.
Unfortunately, no-one got his number as they were preoccupied with the bag theft.

patrickSTARR · 15-12-2008 02:35AM

most taxi men are cool and honest but there are alot of ***** out there, u just remember the ***** more cause they pissed u off so much!

Stones85 · 15-12-2008 03:18AM

I have to admit I feel sorry for taxi drivers..... not this one though.

Me and my mates did a taxi man out of a 35 euro trip and a 35/40 min drive, shameful I know. Car was full, lad in back starts to get "sick" taxi man says get him out... we all try and help sick mate, do a legger across the fields and walk the last mile or 2 home.

.

I'm sure everyones done a legger like that before???

Oh did it in Oz aswell, the streets ran paralell with footpaths connecting them at 90 degree agles, asked him to stop 1 street down, then legged it up the path. It was that or walk home from the city centre, that one I'd do again if I had to.

*quick check to see if I'm posting in AH*
I'm sure everyone has run out on YORE MA!

I'm sure everyone has downloaded a movie... oh wait... um that's not like the last few things.

I lost all respect for ALL taxi drivers a long time ago. Taxi men say "There are too many taxis, the ranks are too few and too small, the petrol has gone up so we will charge more, the petrol has come down but we wont charge less, we will charge you more over the holidays because we know we can screw you, we are single and have our own mortgages so we need lots of money, our cars are expensive to run". Then why the Fvck are they never clean????

Ask the pub for their cctv and just tell them that a taxi driver tried to assault you after verbally assaulting you. Well he DID. He chased you into a pub. Tell the club they only have to tell you the number that you dont really need to see it. Anyway, EU law states that you have the right to view any recording where you appear on it and YOU/they do.

Take him to the fvcking cleaners.

Can you rephrase that to read "me and my mates robbed a taximan and his family of their earnings" please, because thats how it reads to me.

As for everyone doing a "legger", I'd hope most of us here haven't or I'm drinking with the wrong type of person when I attend the boards.ie Christmas beers.

S.I.R · 15-12-2008 10:32AM

I wouldnt pay the fella,

though i understand shes a girl and all.... play the rasisim card to get the bouncers to knock the bloke out ?? :pac:

f***** white muppets >.<
