#taxi — Public Fediverse posts

Les événements du 10 septembre; première condamnation pour alcool au volant.
En 1897, un chauffeur de #taxi de Londres, du nom de George Smith, est condamné par un tribunal à une peine pécuniaire de 25 shillings d’alors (environ une livre sterling) pour avoir foncé dans un immeuble avec son véhicule. C’est la première condamnation en lien avec l’alcool dans un accident de la route.

"[T]he self-driving software also didn’t feel as confident as you would like in a car with no manual controls. It felt more like a slightly stoned teenager, nervously braking, indecisively bobbing between lanes, and seemingly second-guessing some of its decisions. There’s also an unavoidable Elon Musk–shaped cloud hanging over every ride, attracting angry eyeballs and carrying all the political baggage that comes with anything he touches."

“Taxi and ambulance drivers are less likely than workers in almost any other job to die of Alzheimer’s disease. That was the surprising result of a 2024 study examining the death certificates of nearly 9 million people in the U.S…
Of the 9 million death certificates from January 2020 to December 2022 that researchers examined, taxi and ambulance drivers had the lowest risk of dying from Alzheimer’s disease out of 443 occupations. After adjusting for age, sex, race, ethnicity and education, roughly 1 in 100 taxi and ambulance drivers died of Alzheimer’s, compared with 1 in 60 people overall.
This pattern did not extend to other driving jobs. The researchers concluded that the key to reducing the risk of Alzheimer’s was not driving itself but continuous real-time navigation: the constant work of locating yourself in space, tracking a destination and updating a mental map as conditions change. Drivers whose jobs relied on fixed or predetermined routes, like bus drivers and aircraft pilots, didn’t seem to experience a similar advantage.
Researchers believe the association between navigation-heavy work and lower Alzheimer’s risk centers on the hippocampus, a part of the brain that governs memory and spatial navigation. It’s one of the first brain regions that Alzheimer’s damages: Problems with spatial navigation and orientation are among the earliest signs of the disease, sometimes surfacing before obvious memory loss.
In one landmark 2000 study [link above], neuroscientists compared the brains of licensed London taxi drivers with those of people who did not drive cabs. Their findings provided the first evidence via structural imaging that regions of the adult brain can measurably change under sustained navigational demand. To earn a license, London cabbies must memorize more than 25,000 streets within a 6-mile radius of Charing Cross, a challenge known as “The Knowledge” that takes three to four years…”

Taxis pulled over in Swansea city centre safety crackdown

Marked police cars patrolled Swansea city centre last Friday night as part of a joint licensing operation targeting taxis and private hire vehicles.

The crackdown — dubbed Operation Beccles — was led by the Swansea and Neath Port Talbot Licensing Team, working alongside Swansea Council’s taxi licensing officers. It coincided with the launch of Op Advent, a festive policing initiative focused on keeping the city centre safe, and Operation Chirk, which saw outstanding suspects brought into custody.

During the evening, officers identified Hackney carriages and private hire vehicles for spot checks at a designated inspection area.

In total, 17 vehicles were inspected.

• Three were issued stop notices, meaning they cannot operate until defects are fixed.
• One vehicle received a Section 60 notice, allowing a short grace period before suspension.

Checks included physical inspections and database searches via the Police National Computer to confirm driver legitimacy and licensing compliance.

“Safety is our top concern”

Sergeant James Ponting said:

“It is very important that anyone visiting Swansea city centre has assurance that their safety is of utmost concern when they use a taxi. This operation highlights the emphasis we place on community safety — we want people to enjoy the city centre and get home safely afterwards.”

Andrew Williams, Swansea Council Cabinet Member for Corporate Services, added:

“Especially during the festive period, we want people to feel safe using taxis and private hire vehicles. The results of Operation Beccles show why it’s vital we take steps to ensure vehicles and drivers are fit for purpose.”

"There have been cases when people have casually made requests to be rescued via mobile phone, as if they were ordering a #taxi.. Other countries require climbers to have #insurance & they charge anyone tt they have to rescue.. #Emergency #services had to be activated to help injured #hikers #everyday during the #climbingseason"
