Spot checks on Rotherham taxi drivers have been introduced by council
officials after the authority succeeded in getting all licensed drivers
qualified and their vehicles fitted with CCTV systems – with problems
discovered on more than four in ten vehicles.
More than one in four drivers also failed to satisfy the inspectors.
However, most infringements were minor, councillors have been told, with
only one investigation remaining active – into a driver who was found to
have failed to activate the camera system in their vehicle.
Of 37 vehicles and drivers checked in the three months to June, 21 vehicles
were found to comply with council rules and 27 drivers were also following
the rules.
In the 16 vehicles were defects were found, the most significant was a car
suspended from use because of tyre wear being at the legal limit, with
warnings issued to others for defective bulbs or tyres approaching the legal
wear limit.
All problems were either rectified on the day, or by the following day when
they were re-inspected.
Eight of the ten drivers who were not compliant with the rules were not
wearing identity badges, though all had them present in the vehicle.
All were warned and told use the badges as intended, with a further driver
warned about the standard of his driving.
