A Taxi Drivers Guide to Driving Safely in Wet Weather

Working as a taxi driver allows you a certain amount of freedom, but one thing you have no say over is the weather. Come rain or shine you need to be on the road, ferrying passengers from A to B easily and efficiently.

When the heavens decide to open, you still have to carry on, unless the weather gets so perilous that you have no other option than to stop.

Telematics Poll Results

Thanks to everyone who took part in our recent telematics poll. After looking at the results we are highly encouraged by the number of Taxi Drivers who are willing to use technology to improve driving and save money.

Fixing a lens on the powerful case for Dash-cams

Similar to Telematics a Dash-cam doesn’t take up much room in your vehicle, in fact most people wouldn’t realise it was there. Stowed away neatly behind your rear-view mirror it isn’t the first thing you notice when you get in to your vehicle.

Growing in popularity, the Dash-cam has become a very useful piece of kit, especially for Taxi Drivers.

Which Taxi Insurance is Right for Me?

If you’ve decided to become a taxi driver in your local area and got to the point where you have been granted a 1 or 3 year Taxi Driver Licence, you will undoubtedly be keen to get started in your new profession.
