SAVE ON FUEL WITH THE E7 FROM CAB DIRECT
Gerald McCabe from Bonnyrigg, near Edin- burgh, has been a taxi driver for over 20 years and has driven his fair share of cabs in that time. However, according to Gerald, his latest vehicle – the Peugeot E7 from Cab Direct - tops them all. Gerald says: “I had the older model E7 and a Metrocab before that but there’s no compar- ison. My new E7 is fantastic!” Gerald continues: “I first
tried the new
model E7 when my cab was in for repairs. I’d been offered a job touring the city and my friend lent me his so that I didn’t have to turn down the work. Since then I’ve had my heart set on getting my own.”

In terms of features, Gerald has nothing but praise for his new cab. Purpose-built for the modern day driver, the E7 has been designed and manu- factured specifically to cater to the needs of those driving it day in, day out. Features such as E7’s EasySlide rear seat, FareAssist

generation of Peugeot HDi engines, the E7 offers a class leading blend of performance and economy. Return- ing an impressive 42.8mpg on the com- bined cycle (37.1mpg for the auto version), E7 is one of the most cost effective hack- neys on the market. One of the biggest plus points for Gerald is the ease of accessi- bility the E7 provides. He comments: “The under-floor pull out ramp on the E7 is a massive selling point. I’ve got quite a few regular customers that need a wheelchair accessible cab and having the ramp is a godsend.
It really
makes such a differ- ence – it’s so easy to use and it saves me and my customers a heap of time. I’ve had loads of positive com- ments about accessibility.

the CC2 camera for sale at a preferential rate via an exclusive partnership. Mark Taylor, Director of Cabs4Less said: “Every month I see a list of news items in Private Hire and Taxi Monthly relating to attacks on drivers, and wanted to see if there was any way that I could help cut down these incidents.” The Crash Catcher® CC2, which comes with a 12 month war- ranty, is a dual lens camera, enabling the driver to record inside the vehicle, whilst at the same time record- ing outside to protect the driver against “Crash for Cash” and “50/50” claims. One of the major incen- tives for the purchase of a CC2 camera, is that national insurance brokers Advance Insur- ance offer a ten per cent premium discount to users/owners. Some of the camera specifications are list- ed: Full HD video recording with Night
Vision facility. Record inside, outside, or both at once; Five Megapixel CMOS sen- sor still camera facility. 4 x zoom facility; Audio
