So just to follow up on fake taxis post, people are asking how they spot the difference, so I hope the pictures explain.
The key is it should be a cotswold district HACKNEY CARRIGE if the words private hire or a different area they are not allowed to pick you up unless you have prebooked them.
If something happened for any reason they would be completely un traceable and no comeback so these are 2 cars that we found just yesterday, please look at there plates, this is really important to your safety
Fake taxis in Cirencester again!
Please be careful when getting you taxi home 2 drivers caught picking up passengers from the town taxi rank.
It's important because only cotswold registered taxis can pick up here. If you get in one of the out of area cars posing as an official taxi both they are breaking the law and you are also not insured should anything go wrong.
They can try to charge you anything they can so please be careful.
Make sure the plate on the back of the car looks like this!
