The cab is not necessarily from Birmingham. It's where they have taken their test.
We have a lot of Wolverhampton ones on Merseyside.
It's cheaper for them to take their tests there 😊
Second comment! Boom! 😂
To be fair his driving was pretty good, lane discipline, within speed limit and good gap to vehicle in front…just stay off the phone, it could all go very wrong very quickly!
Not very clear evidence this time.
Some PHV drivers who lose tfl green badge just go and get one elsewhere and then continue to work in London. So the driver may conceivably have already been done for phone use and lost tfl badge. Certainly a long way from Birmingham…. might be benign but might not be!!! There was a piece recently online about the %age of PHV badge holders for certain areas who live and work miles away to get round badge issues. Apparantly some areas are known for having a high %age of "out of area" badge holders.
in addition to the taxi offender – that scooter rider at 0:52 is a lunatic
35mph in a 20-zone across the line into oncoming traffic – you CAN'T get away with that 365-days a year!
It's really bad in Birmingham, you see it all the time!
If he is a B'ham taxi driver the police will not be able to contact him, as he will not have a licence. His taxi number is probably fake aswell.
Seven words or more for the algorithm. Slava Ukraine ! 🇺🇦
Plenty dangerous enough, without adding a distracted driver whose attention is divided between controlling their vehicle, driving safely and operating a phone.
The standard of driving in Birmingham is very poor especially in certain areas
It goes on all over the country. Our useless government do nothing.
I was amused by the "Rubbish Clearance" truck – are they not very good at their job?
Go down Stratford Road sparkhill and there all on there phones
Birmingham City Council is bankrupt, so expect a reply sometime in the next 2 years.
Taxi driver should know better. Obviously, having a clean licence is not important to this driver!!!! 🙄🙄🙄
Has anyone noticed scooter riders on the phone 😢 I see it every day. 😢
CYCLING MIKEY OBE FOR SERVICES TO ROAD SAFETY 💪
Seems to me the last part of his No Plate is accurate, in 🧠 cells!😅🤣😂
As a Brummie I see this all the time ❤❤❤
Wolverhampton council hand out taxi licences like goldfish at a fairground
Gobacktolondonfool
No doubt working in London on the Uber app . You see it a lot
Might be different in your area but I'm a taxi driver & if that was handed in to the council I would be in trouble…
Don’t listen to the haters. Keep on doing what you do best, the roads are getting safer because of your actions.
The people that hate on you are probably reform voters and are racists, have nothing better to do and don’t care for other people’s safety.
Keep fighting Michael
birmingham city? – one of you is very lost!
Birmingham taxi office only listen to brown envelopes full of cash.
Your a Snitch
