opinions please....

Im a taxi driver, my council have issued a new dashboard id badge we MUST display "prominently" in the view of passengers

i think its a potential legal minefield re-obsured vision

ours are the first 2, the last is the one issued to taxis in the council a few miles away which i wouldnt object to

ours are 8" x 5", maybe not an MOT issue but post accident investigation i can see issues

Attach to passenger sun visor, fold down when you've a fare on board, fold up when you're alone.

Don't know why you'd put it directly in front of your line of sight.

was only place i could take a decent image, the one in front of the radio is for size comparison purposes, sunshade down at night might look a bit odd

[HustleRussell]

Seriously? You cannot think of a single prominent location in your car where that won't obscure your vision?

[Beetnik]

You could buy yourself a kepi and fix the licence to the back of it, slightly to the left (as viewed from the back and assuming you have a RHD car). Only wear the kepi when you're at work - and its position will mean it's visible from all your passenger seats.

It also gives you a great conversation starter and will assuage your fears re the MOT.

Back of your headrest?

when some smartass at the council realise 60% of passengers travel in the back they will issue one per headrest

[Monkeylegend]

Put it where your RFL disc used to be, problem solved.

Next.....

I am surprised they allow you to wear tracksuit bottoms and trainers

Leave the clip attached, it will be in plain view of the customer without causing you a vision problem.

Not being funny but if you can't solve this problem how do you go about finding obscure places and dealing with obnoxious passengers?

This. For goodness sake!

[Vaud]

OP, I think you are looking for an issue where there isn't one.

Indeed.

Put it on the dash, just to the left of those centre vents. Job jobbed.

[Vaud]

Or photocopy it and stick one on the back of the headrest and one on the dashboard.

[esxste]

Get a tablet/phone mount, maybe one that attaches to a vent. Put ID in mount. Job done.

[Beetnik]

Should fit nicely onto one of these and still be seen by passengers, even before they get in the car.

[anonymous-user]

Get it tattoo'd on the back of your head and drive round without a headrest.

Jesus. Want me to tie your shoelaces too?

[Pip1968]

Ha ha. Last two posts had me in stitches.

Ps perhaps it could be reprinted as a wrap. Customers with poor vision will find it easier.

....the blind...... braille.... think think....

OP you are a taxi driver. You lot are a law unto yourselves so why are you even bothering asking?
