Basically I have question which is mainly aimed at the BiB.
What is policy towards taxi drivers with regards to speeding.
What do you think of the standard of taxi driving.

I'm asking these because I started driving a taxi in January and haven't picked a policeman up yet to ask!

I drive nights usually 8pm till 5am because I can't deal with the traffic in the day, the roads are quieter and I can drive faster. Of course the faster I drive the more jobs I can do and the more money I can make. I don't drive excessively fast, but I do get shift on.
Unless I venture into lancashire that is when I keep to the limit at all times (merpol seem to have a tolerant approach)

Any comments welcome
