Scootercabs

Got a flyer for this the other day
Where they come to your car on a foldaway moped, put it in your boot and drive your car with you in it home. Could be quite useful if you can't get a taxi into town - just drive in and arrange to get picked up later.
Anyone ever used one?

Re: Scootercabs

fucking great idea, got one in sterio the other day. might give it a go some day

don't agree with drink driving which this is aimed to cut down on! so i fink they should b banged up & not drove home!!!

Why should they be banged up if they haven't drunk drive?

Might get one one day from outside one of the trendy bars. I'll look well cool when this little moped turns up and gets put in my boot!

lol i thought it was someone on a scooter who came and picked u up for a lift

from what i understood it was part of a scheme to cut down on drink driving...so these mopeds went out later in the evening & stopped drunk ppl...drove thme home with this scooter in the boot & then they went on there way agan......

sorry if i was wrong but thats what i took form the article i read/saw (i smoke too much) but know i saw something about it!!

do you not phone em to come out and get ya just say if ya didnt plan on goin out and drinking but when ya got there someone was there who hadnt seen in ages so decided to get pissed you dont have to drink drive or leave ya car in town. they come get you and drive you and ya car home.

great idea

if thats the case then its a canny idea...imagine the strict checks you'd have to go thru to get a job working for them...

I'd imagine it would be just like getting a job for a taxi firm

itd be like ebing a taxi driver, picking birds up, they pay in kind,

so does anyone know where i can get an application form from for this

they're being trusted with your car keys not just getting you home!!!

The drivers would be insured to drive any car. It couldnt work otherwise.

IMO they wouldnt do off with peoples cars. The person who owns the car is gonna be there anyway so its not too likely theyre gonna try and steal the car right in front of the owner

havent you ever been to consett????

i bet theres stringent tests & checks done on applicants incase of this happening tho...if ur a bit tipsy then ur not going to b as aware as u wud b sobre!! imo any hows!!!

Its not done in Consett though. It would be a waste of time. Not many people can afford the luxury of owning a car

LMAO

theres very few ppl who wud ever take their car to costa del & leave it over nite atm cos it'll probs get broken into....it costs very little for a taxi from consett to home so ppl will just continue to do that IMO!!!

I think you have to get in the car as well or how would you get your keys back?

Thats what they advertise it on. But if you're at home and want to get a taxi to a pub and back it might just be easier to drive there and get these back
