Nah. More like the politicians "working" as teachers should quit their teacher job when they get elected. At the mo, if a full-time teacher becomes a politician, their post can not be filled in their absence with a permanent teacher; the school must employ subs. So if they taught for 5 years, became a politician for 30 years, when they stop being a politician, they can breeze back into the teacher job, or retire, and have both the teacher pension and the politician pension. Correct me if I'm wrong, but that'd be for being a teacher for five 35 years, and a politician for 30 years...

Double jobbers out?

One sh!t is plenty. :cool:

What is it with taxi drivers and begrudgery?

It is a skillful trade that the select few who have spent years perfecting their craft want to protect.

Is it seriously a taxi driver thing? That's fcuking rich if true. Who do they think they are to have any say over who can get into the business, even if it is part time? Nothing stopping those losers from taking up a second job if they feel so hard done by.

Double Jobbers decrease the amount of taxi's on our road. They have identified a good way of making money, ie, take it in shifts to run a single cab, great idea and frankly i can't understand why irish taxi drivers dont do this! There is a hole in the market that can be penetrated. I'm a big fan of double penetration myself.....<tumble weed rolls by>.

if its so skillful - why do we see so many taxi drivers break the rules of the road EVERY day .... why do (almost) ALL taxi drivers have a Sat Nav ?

Dont get me wrong - taxi's if properly regulated - can provide a good service....but to be honest they are over priced and full of drivers who are on the roads so much they consider themselves to have a "devine right" to be on the roads and every other road user is beneath them.

they do not respect other road users, they do not acknowledge pedestrians, cyclists, motorbikes and in some cases even other cars/vans and trucks are expected to give way.....a taxi driver (and his driving) should be retested on a regular basis...or a continual basis.

I do think anyone who drives for a living should be subject to more testing than the ordinary road user - they are given the responsibility to "taxi" a person safely home or to their destination....we need to ensure they do so .... using the rules of the road and not the taxi version of rules of the road.
