Sometimes I can see some 'undesirable' nearby and wrongly assume that they are with the person flagging the taxi. In those cases I just drive straight past and I'm sure the flagger will think I'm just being bloody minded as s/he can't see the whole picture. If it's me that you drive past, I'll write down your number and be on the phone to the PCO the next morning. There is absolutely no offence committed by not stopping, even if you have your for hire light on. Even then it is common practice for a night driver to keep the doors locked until s/he has established that the customers are 'reasonable' i.e. they are not eating and drinking, are not likely to throw up, not just stopping the cab to put another, comatose person in the back and then leave them, etc. Only after that will I ask where they are going. Personally I don't care where I go but there is a legal right to refuse any fare which is going outside the licence area, going more than 12 miles or is likely to take more than 1 hour. That last part could be especially important on some occasions as there may well be serious traffic jams. -- Mike Hughes A Taxi driver licensed for London and Brighton at home in Tarring, West Sussex, England Interested in American trains real and model?
