Call Sign September 2007 - Page 5 - Call Sign Needs Your Views on Booze!

The government’s "Know Your Limits" campaign wants to find out Dial-a-Cab drivers views and experiences of encountering drunk people when working in your taxi. Cab drivers have a unique perspective into how people who have drunk too much alcohol behave and the kind of problems they can create. Know Your Limits is interested in hearing about your experiences of dealing with drunk people and how this effects your job. The results of the survey will be launched in a future issue of Call Sign and will be released to the national media with the aim of encouraging people to think about how much they drink and to better recognise when they exceed their alcohol limits. To take part in the survey, log on to Call Sign’s website (www.dac-callsign.com) and follow the link on the home page. The survey has 15, mainly multiple-choice questions and should only take a few minutes to complete. The campaign is also looking for cab drivers that might be prepared to speak to the media about their personal experiences of dealing with drunk people when working in	Call Sign Needs Your Views on Booze! You can help by filling in our on-line survey aimed at the national media… How the 'know your limits' posters were seen
	their cab. If you would be prepared to do this, there is a facility to leave your contact details at the end of the survey. The campaign would be very grateful if you could take the time to complete the survey. We hope that it will encourage a more sensible approach to alcohol and will also help to make taxi drivers’ working lives easier in the longer term. Call Sign’s website again is www.dac-callsign.com. Launched in October 2006, the	Know Your Limits campaign aims to highlight the negative consequences of drinking too much alcohol. A hard-hitting advertising campaign targeting young people focuses on how drinking alcohol makes you feel invincible, when in fact you’re more vulnerable. The ads used a ‘superhero’ to symbolise the feeling of invincibility and contrast this with the reality of alcohol-related accidents, sexual attack and violence. The campaign website is at www.knowyourlimits.co.uk

With Nash’s Numbers Useful Information Document…!

There are already a substantial number of "know-alls" on Dial-a-Cab, thanks to Alan Nash’s UID – his Useful Information Document! Alan (A95) has been putting his Nash’s Numbers column on Call Sign’s page 2 since 1997 and continues to provide our readers with constantly updated information that will assist them in their work as licensed taxi drivers.
   If you always read his page and as many other drivers do, tear out those pages of interest, you could be missing out by not registering for his Useful Information Document – or in our world of initials, his UID. You need to be on the Internet and have a PDF reader on your PC, but if you don’t have that, you can download a free version on the UID site. Any DaC driver can then register and receive information that you couldn’t get free of charge anywhere else.
   So what’s on it?
   Well there is far more than we have space to tell you about, but just for starters how about a DaC zonal map showing how the outer zones are divided; inner London post codes and physical zones; TaxiCard codes; updated fare tables; mileages from Cabot Square, the City itself or Heathrow; ins and outs of the Met; which flights go from where at both Heathrow and Gatwick; a complete list of London pubs, restaurants and hotels; a list of all the police stations that still stay open 24 hours and speaking of the police, there is a list of all London’s lap dancing clubs and much more… and all in excellent PDF print-out quality.
   If you are not registered for the UID, it isn’t difficult, just email alan@nashsnumbers.co.uk with the subject line as UID. In the message section, put your name, call sign, badge no, email address and mobile phone number. The last item will only be used if Alan has any problems accessing your email address.
   There aren’t too many genuine free bargains in life where you genuinely get a lot while not required to give anything back. But Alan Nash’s UID is certainly one. Register now and become a Call Sign Know-All…!
