More red tape for Taxi Drivers

Local councils are considering imposing further legislation on Taxi Drivers, this is designed to crack down on rogue operators. This will have an undoubted impact on the running costs of both private hire and public hire operators. To help combat the increased costs cheap taxi insurance is available to assist in these tough economic times.

However even stricter regulation is unwelcome in a climate of the credit crunch a downturn in business and having to potentially pay for the privilege of these additional regulatory checks. Local government is proposing these checks will be completed every six months on vehicles of three years old or more.

Whilst the council's intentions are to improve overall safety, most taxi drivers are resentful that the large majority will be penalised for a small minority that disregard the rules.
