Barrie Segal
has over the past few months answered queries for several
drivers that had written to Call Sign about the
legality of their PCNs. Now Barrie – recognised as the UK's
leading expert on parking tickets and parking ticket law as well
as being the founder of the
www.AppealNow.com
website – will be assisting Dial-a-Cab in trying to cut down the
number of PCNs our drivers receive. Barrie has been a phone-in presenter on TalkSport, a regular contributor to numerous TV and radio programmes including BBC and LBC news shows, Real Story, Tonight with Trevor McDonald, London Tonight, Richard Hammond's 5 O' Clock Show and The London Programme. He has been interviewed by many international papers including the New York Times, International Herald Tribune and also assisted a Which Magazine report on parking tickets, something that brought them the largest number of responses on any subject the magazine had ever received. His website, www.AppealNow.com, has been recognised as the best of its kind and has led him to submitting evidence on parking matters to both the London Assembly and the Parliamentary Transport Committee on Parking. He also regularly represents clients before the Parking Adjudicator. Now, as of 1 April, Dial-a-Cab are hoping that www.AppealNow.com can assist us in cutting down the number of PCNs this Society receives each month. You don’t need to be on the Internet in order to join the battle. If you get a Penalty Charge Notice when on a trip taken through the system, do not pay it but bring it to Dial-a-Cab House and either give it to Nuala or leave it for her attention. Nuala will put your details onto a spreadsheet and send the PCN details in batches to www.AppealNow.com. You will then hear from the council concerned whether your appeal has |

been successful or not. If it
has, then brilliant. If it hasn’t, then you contact Nuala once
again and she will then take the appeal another step forward. If
the worst happensand you finally lose, then as you would now,
you pay the fine and DaC will reimburse you. Many drivers have asked that DaC tackle the councils that are making our job so difficult, well now they are and your assistance is needed to see whether DaC and Barrie Segal between them can make a difference. Barrie Segal is married with two children. He is a former member of the Magic Circle and Call Sign hopes that he can perform some tricks to help cut down the huge PCN bill DaC gets each month… Alan Fisher |

The UK’s best ‘black cab’ warranty? |
|
|
The driving
force behind what they claim to be "the UK’s Best ‘Black Cab’
Warranty" is Cabsurance, a taxi insurance market leader for over
30 years and Independent Insurance Broker, authorised and
regulated by the Financial Services Authority (FSA). Based in
Ilford and Bethnal Green, Cabsurance have an unrivalled
knowledge and experience of the taxi industry. Michael Rose and
his three sons, Lawrence, Gary and Jon, are at the sharp end of
the taxi trade and know exactly the sort of warranty cover
cabbies need to keep them moving. They explained to Call Sign that this radical new warranty for taxis of up to 10 years old and 250,000 miles, covers most of the mechanical and electrical parts that are ever likely to go wrong and allows an unlimited number of claims up to the value of the vehicle. Additional cover for catalysts, lost keys, damaged locks and even wear and tear on parts is also available. Repairs can be carried out at main dealers and the full cost of parts and labour are covered. Michael Rose said, "We’ve been working with Quentin Willson and Warranty Wise Insurance Services to create the best used black cab warranty on the market and are now proud to offer this unique, simple, clear and secure warranty that is underwritten at Lloyds of London. Cabsurance’ expertise, flexibility, tailored cover and customer focus means that this is a taxi warranty like no other." Quentin Willson added: Designing a fair and clear London black cab warranty that’s the best in the UK has been a challenge. I respect black cab drivers and think they deserve a much better used taxi warranty than they’re getting now. I genuinely believe that this is the UK’s best used black cab warranty, bar none! |
