Harry is well known within the industry and has worked within the industry for nearly 20 years.

Harry will shortly be promoting these products to our dealer network. Service, quality and value for money is what Viking taximeters believes in; our five-year warranty is the longest in the indus- try, our products are real value for money and now with Harry on the team our service is better than ever.

paRty SeaSon iS upon uS - SeCuRe youR paymentS
With Bonfire Night, Halloween, and the Christmas season quickly ap- proaching it is expected to be a busy period for taxi drivers and it is vital for drivers to maximise the number of jobs they can take on during this busy time to optimise business. By equipping your cab with a card and contactless payment option you’re allowing your business the flexibility needed to expand its customer base. If 10,000 ‘cash only’ cabs were to refuse one job per week, that’s 40,000 per month and 500,000 jobs a year turned away. Can you really afford to miss out on business in such a com- petitive industry? Secure Taxi strongly promotes secure drivers and secure passengers. Drivers carrying less cash eliminates the risk of targeted theft and by of- fering a customer present payment option in the cab, it allows the pas- senger the flexibility to extend their route as they are not dictated by the
change they are carrying at the time. Additionally, by having enough money for the journey it ensures that passengers get a secure door to door service. Understandably, updating or upgrading your in-car payment devices may seem like a daunting process. However, it is important to stress the im- pact contactless, and other forms of card payment methods will have for the future of the taxi industry. At Secure Taxi we provide an in-car credit and debit card payment solution that gives your business the opportunity to thrive within the market and adapt to the growing demands of passen- gers in the UK.

paRking pRoteCtion FoR dRiveRS uSing tHe Halo daSHCam
Those of us who have walked back to our car to see a fresh dent or scratch down the side of it will know the bubbling anger we feel all too well. But did you know that Road Angel’s Halo dashcam has a clever function called ‘Parking mode’ that can film when the car is parked up, turned off and left empty?
The Halo begins record- ing out of both the front and rear windows when it sees any motion or senses a shock. Users
can then play back the footage to see what happened and then submit this video file as evidence to the police, the DVLA or insurers. In order for parking mode to be enabled, the Halo must be hardwired into the vehicle. It automatically enters into parking mode when the car’s ignition is switched off, using a percentage of the car’s battery to power up and record any movement. There’s a clever in-built power manage- ment system to ensure the car’s battery is never depleted. While you are
82
away, if someone causes damage or crashes into your ve- hicle then Halo films for 15 seconds before and 15 seconds after the motion/shock was detected.
Carys Kerr from the Road Angel Group says: “Parking protection means that if your vehicle is damaged when it’s parked up, you can use the video footage to identify and bring the guilty person to justice and so avoid claiming on your insurance or pay- ing for the repairs yourself.”
The Halo works particularly well because both the front and rear angles are recorded with the video files locked for playback later. “Having two angles definitely improves the chances of recording the incident and being able to track down the person at fault,” Carys explains.
