Quite. And we don't know if the driver was using that as a private
car at the time. I could just about believe that, if a taxi driver
were in the vicinity during rush hour, he might drop by to see if
anyone wanted one, but Whittlesford is near-deserted at other times.
Almost all regular users are commuters, who almost never use taxis
(in the sense of looking out for one plying for hire).


Although if there were no taxis licensed for South Cambs when the
picture was taken, he must have been licensed for a different area and
shouldn't have been plying for hire there, if he was plying for hire.
