Taxi news article

I refer to a Fiji Sun article on Thursday April 20, 2017 with the title ‘Taxi Driver Not Tanker Driver Caused Accident’.

I am surprised the Police, the Land Transport Authority, and the Fiji Taxi Union never picked up on this. Neither did the newspapers.

There are no taxis operating with registration number HJ484.

This appears to be a pirate taxi and the owner and driver should be dealt with severely by the suspension of driving licence and deregistration of the vehicle licence.

Likewise, they should be charged by the Police. The authorities should come down hard on these people to deter the others. Taxis have LTA registration and the plates are normally yellow in colour.

If this vehicle was permitted by the authorities to operate with a private number, then they should advise the public on the reasons for this.

I am pleading with the authorities, Government, LTA and the Police to relook and revise their charges on this driver.
