Cyclist hits pedestrian on Bank Junction causing possible life changing damage

via taxi-point https://ift.tt/2Jl1Xm5

A pedestrian was hit by a cyclist yesterday at City of London’s Bank Junction and has sustained possible life-changing injuries.

City of London police officers were called to scene at around 5.30pm where the victim received a head injury and swiftly taken to the Royal London Hospital in East London.

The controversial junction has trialed a ban on all motorised traffic, excluding buses, since May last year between 7am-7pm claiming that the “Bank on Safety” will ensure pedestrians safety.

The City of London Corporation who manage the junction recently announced that the number of casualties have halved and that the ban could be made permanent.

The Bank Junction restrictions have been heavily criticised by the Taxi trade as traffic levels soar in neighbouring side roads and journey times doubling in some cases.

Hackney Carriage Taxi's spotted in Liverpool with homemade licences

via taxi-point https://ift.tt/2sxXh66

Two black taxi's were spotted driving around Liverpool city centre last weekend with what were clearly home-made taxi licence plates. Other taxi drivers and pedestrians noticed the bizarre plates written in black maker pens and it wasn't long before photos were circulating social media.

It's not yet clear why the drivers had to go through such extreme measures but Liverpool City Council have confirmed that they are aware of the situation and have warned the drivers that it is unacceptable to use "makeshift plates". One theory is that they may of had the original plates stolen and had used this on a temporary basis while waiting for new ones to be issued. According to a report in the Liverpool Echo, Liverpool City Council confirmed that both vehicles were properly licensed and insured to carry out paid trips but the use of home-made plates will not be tolerated in the future.

There has been a serious crackdown in recent months on the operations of "dodgy drivers" in the city, with monthly statistics being released of Hackney Carriage and private hire drivers who have been punished for bad behaviour on the roads.
