Bedford taxi drivers risk £2,500 fines for dodging dangerous roads
Potholes are a daily nuisance for UK drivers, but for taxi drivers, who rely on their vehicles to make a living, the situation is even more challenging. A recent survey, based on data obtained from a Freedom of Information (FOI) request by SimplyQuote, reveals that a staggering 92% of drivers believe potholes in their local area are only getting worse.
As a result, many taxi drivers are forced to take evasive action to avoid accidents or expensive vehicle damage.
Taxi drivers, who typically cover around 46,500 miles each year while transporting about 5,750 passengers, face an even higher risk of encountering a pothole during their daily routines.*
