Make them all retake their class 5.. Guarantee you they will get the same percentage of fails if not more.

Class 5 license holders cannot operate taxis.

It's not the rebuilt taxis or incompetent drivers I'm worried about, it's the commercial trucks that would never pass a safety inspection being driven by even more FOB drivers.

Saw the news earlier tonight. Something like 55 taxis were inspected and only 8 passed. The rest were either condemned or ticketed for repairs/modifications.

Kinda off topic but are most of the taxis from the states? The 2 times I've taken a cab in Vancouver were both U.S. cars with MPH speedometers, I guess every dollar they save helps

so they only inspected taxis that have a rebuild status? I bet if they inspected a hundred "clean title" taxis, they would also fail the VI process. it's no secret that cab owners don't care about the upkeep of their vehicles.

I hate some taxi drivers.
I once got cut off by a taxi before it quickly turned on its emergency light and made a quick stop right in front of me for the passengers to get off.
I was driving on the inside lane, and there was a no stopping/parking sign on the street too.

I drive a commercial truck, if you don't drive past the 160th scale between 7am-3pm then you could get away with a truck held together by duct tape for years. Quote:

What I'm surprised about is that 20% did NOT fail the inspections.  | |
