Instant 3 month ban. That would put an end to mobile phone usage whilst driving.

[@MrSolodriver]

When I was a taxi driver, licensed by The New Forest District Council, in Hampshire, I used to pick up and drop off passengers at all the London airports frequently. As long as it is pre-booked, you can pick up anywhere in the country. A memorable one for me was a fare from Heathrow to Aberdeen! Booked and paid for in advance. What you CAN'T do is "ply for hire" outside your licensed area.

[@MrMk3turbo]

The red van most probably has the registration plate mounted high up because it can then legally tow a small trailer and the registration plate remains visible if the trailer doesn’t have one

[@madbadger1327]

But isn't the point that there is a space for the number plate built into the left hand door, complete with lights to illuminate the plate? There it would still be visible even when towing something.

[@johnnodge4327]

Some company's will mount the numberplate high up to prevent them from being stolen. The actual plate location on the vehicle isn't set in stone, as long as it can be read clearly from behind, and a light to illuminate the plate at night, which this van has.

[@smilerbob]

Regardless of the visibilty of the number plate on the vehicle, all trailers must still display the registration mark of the vehicle towing it

[@rosswatkins8428]

Some of the trailers are much higher than where the plate mounting is. ​@@madbadger1327

[@user-mz3sj7do4b]

[@garymoores9248]

EVERY driver, not just professional drivers, should re-take their test EVERY 5-7yrs.. AUDI & BMW drivers should be forced to re-take theirs EVERY WEEK until the rules, that apply to other road users, sink in!!

[@grahampollitt1548]

Most work as a driver and are IN NO WAY professional . It's a joke.

[@catfrab]

Yep, you should be made to take a UK professional driving test to drive professionally in the UK. All passenger vehicle drivers (private hire, taxis, minibuses etc) should also be made to re-take a pro test on a regular basis, perhaps every 5-10 years. This test should include communication skills including spoken English. Same with delivery scooters. How we allow learner drivers to work doing deliveries without ever having taken a driving test baffles me! Surely, insurance companies shouldn't be covering them to work as pro drivers without passing a driving test? It should be illegal. And council traffic wardens on learner plates issuing tickets and fines to qualified drivers? It's all a bit insane.

[@dandestecroix5553]

"They come along like London buses" - ok, in my experience, nothing for 2 hours, then 12 all at the same time. Not even joking.

[@ashleynaylor9531]

Quite a few Wolverhampton licensed cabs in my home town, Rotherham, would imagine they're all over the place. It's a loophole that needs closing.

[@oddities-whatnot]

Same in Manchester. Must be easier to register down there even if living in another area. As far as I was aware this wasn’t allowed.

[@shardlake]

Electric Audi, clearly trying to outdo the ICE versions with even more righteous indignation. Triumph TR3A, friend of my father has 2 of them and several TR4's that he restored, lovely cars.

[@user-bp6mz6hi3k]

Regarding that guy at Heathrow on the phone, it's still illegal to use your phone in a stationary car. The only 2 times you can use your phone in a car is a) if you have to phone the emergency services and can't pull over and b) to pay for food at a drive thru

[@Eddymonsoon]

Wolverhampton have lower waiting times to obtain a licence , loads of them nationwide and made a few headlines about it.

[@andyalder7910]

They're allowed to work anywhere in the country except London, and I thought Heathrow counted as London.

[@smilerbob]

@@andyalder7910I thought dropping off was permitted but they were not allowed to pick up a paying fare while in the London operating area? I could be wrong

[@andyalder7910]

@@smilerbob That's true, they can drop off in London or passengers would need to change cars at the boundary.

[@davidhulse3824]

You should be plated for the area that you work in. When I did my taxi badge course 1 guy never spoke English at all and he still passed, people running the course were giving the test answers away.

I'm a taxi driver from Liverpool and Wolverhampton plated taxis are taking over everywhere so much so I have to work outside of Liverpool myself to earn what I normally earn each night. Shouldn't be allowed to happen.

[@lafluerpeter9]

I have a family friend who is a private hire registered by Chichester Council who regularly does runs down to Heathrow.

[@user-gq3fv2jg3x]

If you look carefully, the Red van has a tow bar if & when a trailer is hooked up you will not be able to see the rear number of the van, hence why the number plate on the van in that positioned top left hand side.

[@madbadger1327]

But isn't the point that there is a space for the number plate built into the left hand door, complete with lights to illuminate the plate? There it would still be visible even when towing something.

[@michellesimpson4364]

The passenger might have been from Wolverhampton and driven to London. It can happen I took a taxi from Wolverhampton to Blackpool once so it’s possible.

[@MRDNRA]

Exactly what I was thinking could be the case. My dad was a private hire taxi driver for a few years and used to do runs down to the London airports (and sometimes even further south) from Leicestershire on a somewhat frequent basis so it wouldn't surprise me.

[@gillianbriely856]

A lot of Blackpool cabbies are now licensed in Wolverhampton!

[@micheallastname5772]

They should also enforce the "clear field of vision" rules, I see phones attached to the windscreen right in front of the drivers view. One BMW Mini Cab had 3 across his windscreen and one on the vent watching live football

[@SGPFK8TypeR]

First clip. Audi and it’s electric. The sense of entitlement must be of the charts. Can you imagine!

[@Flopsy86]

Those Wolverhampton private hire vehicles are all up here in Nottingham too, I heard it's the quickest place to get licensed and possibly the cheapest too

[@CDBC]

As a taxi driver in Vancouver, in the 70's the ultimate fare was a BC Pilot ... to Seattle. Had to be on board in command of the bridge as it entered Vancouver Harbour, you see. Perfect graveyard run at the end of the shift! 140 miles, then back up the I5 ...

[@dpn1604]

Tesla drivers are slowly starting to replace the Audi drivers in terms of reputation.

[@smilerbob]

The number plate at the top is most likely due to towing and having the van registration plate visible. It is a requirement for having the same number plate on the trailer as the vehicle that is towing the trailer so there is no direct additional benefit but it could be making it easier at mobile checkpoints to see the vehicle and trailer match, especially with machinery thefts going on

[@melissanewton7462]

Always should be visible even on a trailer.

[@raynordefoubert9753]

Hi Tony, Can't afford a stamp for the postcard :) but @14:40 the red van might have the number plate that high due to towing a trailer most of the time 🤔

[@derekstocker6661]

That is the reason. Trailer towing.

[@allanmanley6340]

Surely the trailer would have its own numberplate......

[@markfiddy395]

Colchester in Essex has an increasing number of Wolverhampton registered taxis. The reason being Wolverhampton licensing is cheaper and a lot less paperwork to complete. There is nothing to stop a Wolverhampton registered taxi working elsewhere. They just need to Wolverhampton once a year to do the inspection.

The van number plate is put up higher so you can see it when they are towing a compresser or roller

[@Pugfan-o2m]

The red van has a towbar fitted, maybe that is why the number plate is high up.

[@JulieShuttler26]

The red van has it's number plate up high so it's still visible when they're towing a compressor trailer or similar!

[@ThePhoenix198]

It has always been my understanding that if you are towing a trailer it must display the same number plate as the vehicle you’re towing it with. Doesn't matter whether the trailer is a compressor, generator, flatbed, caravan or whatever, the same rule applies. Could be for when a demountable crane or lift is fitted?

[@markdyson4332]

Having viewed many of your videos from the last year its has finally happened ..... I now suffer from "premature second hand embarrassment" which is an official syndrome for a non-idiotic Audi driver subjected to hundreds of "Its always an Audi" incidents. The only relief I seem to be able to get is the occasional "Shitting Peugot" expletives which always make me chuckle for some reason - I think it is the raw vitriol that I appreciate. Anyway, please keep up the educational videos as my therapist says I will eventually learn how to control my internal feelings of associated guilt !

The Wolverhampton cabs are probably coming from the Havant area nr Portsmouth. I have seen loads of Skodas parked up with Wolverhampton badges on the back. Not sure why they are in South Hampshire.

[@kingkandars3352]

A lot of Uber drivers around Preston and Manchester Airport all seem to be working on Wolverhampton Plates, why they can’t get licensed by their local authority is beyond me

[@melissanewton7462]

Isn't there only a certain amount of licences for a particular area. They are probably getting around that by saying they live in another town. Perhaps knowing someone who lives there who can show their address to the authority?

[@rondameier8168]

My first car was a Pontiac transam firebird se.... It was a late 80s early 90s model with the "vent" across the lower portion of the body at the bottom of the doors.... Loved that body style...I think but am not 100% that it's the body style as in the clip... I mean if the Camaro can be brought back, and not better than the originals, then why can't firebird be brought back... I'm mean the new 2025 corvettes are a serious wet dream.... So cmon Chevy do me a solid!!!! Lol

The Wolverhampton Taxi... It might have been a pick up or drop off to Heathrow from Wolverhampton possibly. The red van with the high up number plate thinks he's a bus... no but seriously it looks like it might be some kind of a security van and there's a hatch door in the space where the number plate should be, they should have moved the number plate light to the top really. People don't try to hide their mobile phones while driving, they must know its illegal surely, it's the same here in Merseyside. It's a wonder Sadiq doesn't want anyone to communicate in his own first language, never mind English. If you look at one of the motorway clips starting at 10m 51s, there's a cloud at the top right of the screen which reminded us of a crocodile. Hope you're ok, regards 😊

I wouldn't trust these "professional driver" Muppets with groceries, let alone people. 13:19 Looks like the number plate is put above the doors intentionally. Perhaps, so it can be seen when stopped with the doors open. It would be interesting to see if the front number plate is mounted as high. It could be a theft deterrent.

[@anthonypowis8423]

Hi Mate loving your videos, just a quick comment about the driver registered in Wolverhampton , i 'm a Wolverhampton Licenced Driver and apparently as long as the Taxi company has a Wolverhampton operators licence they can have Wolverhampton Licenced drivers, a lot of companies from all over the country use Wolverhampton as they seem to be the cheapest, hope this helps

The Wolverhampton cab is actually from Leicester. Leicester is full of Wolves cabs because it is easier to get the licence from there. It is probably just an airport run.

[@thelondondashcam]

[@stephenknight1968]

Re the position of the numberplate on the van; it's because the van can tow so by mounting higher it remains visible when a trailer is attached. Look on the positive - at least it has a numberplate showing

[@drcl7429]

High plate... possibly avoids the issue of adding one to a low trailer?

[@Hetton53EL]

My guess is the number plate is up a height bcause cameras are set at a lower height. Where they are expected to be. Enjoy your videos and check every week for the new ones

[@ffotograffydd]

Presumably the taxi from Wolverhampton drove someone from Wolverhampton to Heathrow. I’ve travelled to Heathrow in taxis registered in Surrey, despite Heathrow being in Middlesex. They don’t make you change taxi at the border! 😂 He was a sh*t driver though…

[@andreww83]

The van with the high number plate ~ probably often tows different trailers (he had a tow bar on his vehicle) and to save having to have number plates on them he has his always visible plate on his van ?

you have to have the plate on the trailer anyway. See section 5(2) of The Road Vehicles (Display of Registration Marks) Regulations 2001
