Taxi testing

I were harsh with them not normal cars I didn't mind the death threats either every other month they had had to be safe special needs kids in those cars vans going to the schools had to be safe

we used to do a fair bit for one of the local taxi firms that supplied the health/education authority.summa the names they had for the vehicles concerned i cant repeat on an open forum.as for the drivers?if you think the passengers were special needs that was fook all,they were employing the cheapest most useless-well for some of em words fail me.they couldnt drive a shopping cart let alone a 4 tonner but thats what happens when you need hgv/lgv/bus drivers licences and you aint paying even minimum wage.one in particular sticks in memory,as he twitched and dribbled his way into the drivers seat whilst accidentally starting it in gear before even getting in and as a result nearly wiping me out,another loony had a kids bus with so many toys stuck everywhere it looked like some fooker had set off a landmine in toys r us.ok its a kids bus but when theres so many of the fookers that you cant see outta the screen?or any of the side windows?and no im not exaggerating,she asked me to back it out one time because in her words"i cant see the mirrors anymore"and when i removed enuff of em to be able to see out of it she burst into tears cos"the kids will be really upset now all the toys have been moved"what?more upset than than when it bursts into flames after the impact cos you cant see where youre going you nutty bitch?i sincerely doubt that the kids onboard are supposed to be a precious cargo not a fooking crumple zone.....

Once had an Orion in for repairs . It had failed its council test . One of the issues was a cracked NSF door pocket . Beige interior trim but we could only get a grey one . Fitted that one . It failed again for having the wrong colour one fitted . Torre Road Leeds site .

Amazing how a taxi in one site can be blocked for something so ridiculous while thousands pass every month in unroadworthy or downright dangerous condition.

Broken trims that a passenger can injure themselves all Windows and all doors to open from the inside dirty seats oil leaks all were part of a council test  body work damage its down to council for standard s what I couldn't fail on an mot test it failed on the council test and I were harsh with them

I had a Lexus a while back failed it on nearside front headlamp aiming too far left (before current regulations in force). I could not find the adjuster so had to fail it. The customer said it was not a problem because he was going to Lexus after the mot so he would get them to adjust it. Came back that same day within a couple of hours with a bill for £50 for adjusting a headlamp I kid you not, and upon checking the headlamp aim the beam aim was no different. Showed it to the customer and he rang Lexus from his mobile phone who put the tester on the phone to me. I asked him where was the adjuster for this headlamp that he had just set up within the last hour, and he said, just wait a minute while I go and look on the microfiche!!

I was talking to a friend today who used to work at local Peugeot main dealer and I asked him do they check headlight aim on PDI? Answer was no.
I asked do they check all the lights work? He paused for a few seconds and then said "Mostly....".

All of the PDI s in my time at the dealership s we Never checked  them
