"Majority of cabs have cameras in them, at least the ones on 'faketaxi' lol " lol they do ive watched then haha | |||

"Ive tried to book in advance but they wont accept it coz if NYE im worried i may even be stranded without a taxi! I wouod normally always share a taxi but tomorrow i have to leave before anyone else just ill be kidnapped or somrthing lol x" Have you explained you are a single female travelling alone to the local firm - do you use them other times through the year? You are no more likely to get kidnapped on NYE than any other d*unken night out, so that shouldn't be a major issue If you are that concerned, do you have any friends who may be sober and able to help? | |||

"How safe would people say taxis are these days? I plan to get one alone tomorrow night about 1am but cant help feel worried...." If I'm going home alone or going out alone I always use the same cab firm or recently taxi rank near the venue I was at but a nice guy that time did make sure I got in the taxi safely | |||
"Ive rang 3 local firms all said no to booking. Just said to ring and hope for best ones free. My friends are all staying later than me i have to leave at 12.30am is it silly ive nearly talked myself out of going just incase. X" Is there a taxi rank anywhere near where you're going? | |||

"How safe would people say taxis are these days? I plan to get one alone tomorrow night about 1am but cant help feel worried...." As a taxi driver I would say you are very very safe. Make sure you used a proper private hire licenced cab.All the drivers are qualified and have been CRB checked. | |||

"I've always booked local cabs never a problem. Have to admit I find your worry strange if you've booked in advance." i havent been able to book in advance they wouldnt let me x | |||

"Ever since my daughters were teens...and likely to get taxis we always gave them this tip. Take a picture of the taxi plate and number plate of the vehicle. Text it to a friend....let the driver see you do this/tell them you have done it. Guaranteed safety no matter what! Simple solution. You can all thank me later....pass this tip on!" Very good idea! | |||

"If you are that worried find someone to call on the journey home, or even pretend you are talking to someone " Do this. Good idea. | |||

"As a taxi driver myself your better off pre booking with a registered private hire firm!!! These cannot just pick up from the street and all drivers will be checked,, and cars will be linked to gps so all details of the trip( drivers name, number, time of journey ect ) will be recorded on their data, hackney carriage(black and white) in general monitor themselves so there can be no come back if questionable?? " this | |||
