DJR Posted November 22, 2016 Share You seem to forget how powerful the taxi lobby is. ..............Years ago, I had a lawyer friend who represented one of the big taxi associations. POWERFUL is the word. He lived a stressed and precarious existence with regular death threats from their opposition, and sometimes their allies. He once even had someone take a potshot at his car, leaving him with a bullet hole his insurance refused to fix. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
carbon29er Posted December 3, 2016 Share Any feedback on the swift action demanded? Other than another taxi and another death on Thursday at Nooitgedacht. Pulse and Patchelicious 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dave303e Posted December 6, 2016 Share I am sorry but they can't even take the time to proof read an article and use the correct name in the first place, then when it is pointed out, they can't even take the 2 mins to correct the article, so what are the chances of them getting the rest right?

Patchelicious Posted December 6, 2016 Share I have asked this before, and am yet to get a clear answer. What does the PPA actually do? Where does all that money go? I am honestly asking this as real question, please don't use it as an opportunity to have a go at them. rad006 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Robbie Stewart Posted February 10, 2017 Share So, its Feb. What's been done about this then by all the grand posturing quasi-official vocalists who were "chest puffing" as noted by Patchelicous? Patchelicious 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wil6 Posted February 10, 2017 Share This thread kind of proves some points in the other thread....Only seeing this thread today. Kind of ironic, the PPA Mangaung Classic (Old OFM classic) that was held in Bloem at the end of last year, the same thing happened as what happened at SA Champs. Taxi ignored a marshal and drove into a bunch of cyclists. Some serious injuries. Never heard anything since the incident and no press release.

It's for posts like this that we need a Don't Like This button... Perhaps the CSA / PPA should go have a round or three with the "parliamentary white-shirt brigade", seeing as they are starting to act like a certain political party in charge, saying a whole lot, but doing nothing of substance...
