It was stopped for having no insurance, but evidence of Drugs was found. At this stage we do not know if the vehicle was carrying drugs or the driver was under the influence. I have asked @cmpg for the registration number of the vehicle involved, BUT, that may not be forthcoming, for Data protection reasons.
It has been of some concern that in Manchester, you can be issued a Proprietors Licence on production of a 1 week cover note. No further checks are made until you next present the vehicle for inspection. THAT CANNOT BE RIGHT.
The better PH Companies, Radio Cars and Cresta Cars continually update vehicle Insurances. If your cover is ABOUT to run out, you are knocked off the air, until a fresh document is lodged in the office.
MCR Blackcabs were the first Hackney Company to asked for Insurance Doc's before you are given any work. That is the first time I have been asked for my insurance doc's and I had a 29 year association with Mantax.
To be fair to Mantax, the new management have copied MCR and ask for Documents to be lodged now.
This photo and information will be passed to several Cllr's today. I see no point in involving the Compliance Unit, I do not want to interrupt their game of cards.
Thanks to Henry for the notification, it is to our shame that my most usefully contributor is a Post Grad student.
