GRIMSBY CABBIE STOPS WORKING AFTER MIDNIGHT AFTER MEN VANDALISE HIS CAB


A Grimsby cabbie has vowed never to work after midnight again after his vehi- cle was vandalised by drunken revellers. The Grimsby Telegraph reports that Andrew McArthur, 59, has been a taxi driver for 27 years, but says he’s now had enough of people treating him and other drivers with disrespect. Andrew said it’s like nothing he’s ever seen in his time as a taxi driver, and he says the lack of respect shown by some people is the reason there is an apparent shortage of taxi drivers in Grimsby and Cleethorpes. He said: “On Friday September 27, I picked up seven young men from The Jubilee Inn, Grimsby and took them to Cleethorpes High Street. Unbeknown to me, they decided to have some fun during the journey and threw all my head rests out of the window. “It is actually a criminal offence to do this and a danger to life. Once I realised what had happened, I had to backtrack the entire journey, hunting down the headrests. After three and a half hours, I decided to give


up after only finding three of the six. “I went out the following morning and managed to find another two and another taxi driver managed to find the other one. Three of them are badly damaged, with one being completely unusable. It’s such a danger too, if a car was to run over one of them on the road it could have flicked up and hit someone, killing them.” Following the incident, Andrew has taken the decision to no longer work past midnight to stop things like this from happening again. He explained: “After 27 years, nothing really surprises

me, but that threw me completely. I don’t understand why they’ve done this. There’s no respect for other’s property and they’re ruining my livelihood. “They also brought drinks into the car which were spilt all over the interior and they left a load of glass on the floor, leaving me to foot a cleaning bill. “I’ve had enough, regardless of how busy it is, I’ll go home at midnight now. “I know a lot of drivers feel the same too. They show us no respect and people wonder why they can’t get taxis late at night. “It’s so annoying that someone has done this, they’ve disrespected me and thought it was a joke when it really isn’t.” There is already a shortage of taxi drivers in Grimsby and Cleethorpes, particularly those working late at night. Earlier this month, Grimsby Live revealed the lack of cabbies led to people walking long distances follow- ing a night out. The shortage was first highlighted in the summer and the problem is set to get worse as Christmas approaches.
