LAW COMMISSION
CONSULTATION FEVER IS HOTTING UP ALL OVER THE PLACE....
.... but not sufficiently amongst drivers,
accounts. Thus Opin- ion has set out in this issue a targeted ques- tionnaire for
individual from all
the
purpose of PHTM readers from Land’s End to John O’Groats to get their ‘little grey cells’ going on this consultation. It really is so very crucial that the LC gets your views – before it is too late. We know these legis- lation reviews have come and gone in the past, with no out- come, but this one means business. And it will affect your busi- ness, profoundly. So read on, and get your pens (and cameras) out.
Elsewhere in this issue, you will have seen from the front page that the Addison Lee judgement is now out from the Judicial Review on private hire vehicles
being
allowed in London’s bus lanes, and Mr Griffin is none too pleased - because they won’t
be
allowed. As you will read, the company intends to appeal the decision to a higher court, and to the Court of Appeal and the CJEU. Watch this space, as we are known to say quite frequently... Our Profiles hail from diverse parts:
the
company is fonaCab of Belfast, and the
driver is Elaine Sin- gleton, from our own neck o’ the woods in the North West. And World Wide Taxi Focus is back, from even more diverse parts such as the Big Apple, Europe and Australia. Also, you’ve got to check out our page of Cab-ulous Cabs... different or what! Generally we are pleased to report that this issue offers items of a somewhat lighter note, which is a refreshing change from the doom and gloom that pervades the territory of Terror, Shame, Just Desserts and so on. But they’re there as well, unfortunately...

COUNTY INSURANCE 6 Mallard Court, Crewe CW1 6ZQ
risks of working in this industry just are not going away; if anything
heightened
they’re by
today’s financial bur- dens faced by just about everyone. Still – there’s always the Olympics! Fol- lowing seven years of unbelievable hype and
incalculably
inflated expenditure, this time-honoured event will be under- way by the time you read this issue. All we
can say is: if any of you has to go any- where near the main venues, or the air- ports, or a radius of 10,000 miles of Lon- don generally, do Be Careful Out There. Having read a wry commentary about the contrast between London 2012 and the 1948
London
Olympics, it is fasci- nating: back then no new stadiums were built, there was no Olympic village, and
competitors and ath- letes
were
accommodated in RAF barracks, col- leges and people’s homes – travelling to events on public transport. What, no Zil lanes?!! And the total
cost was
£732,268, compared to the 2012 budget of £9billion. Ho hum... all our yesterdays... Do have a good read... just don’t jump off the Tower Bridge please!
