Already 50 proceedings against bad taxi drivers



Dusseldorf - How can it be that Dusseldorf taxi drivers do not speak the German language, let alone know because the main streets of the city? The question repeatedly horrified passengers.
It is now clear: There are dozens of taxi drivers with obviously phony bills on the road, the taxi Guild meets in the struggle for good service again and again to such "black sheep". Magdalena Rüsseler, head of the "Taxi Düsseldorf eG", said: "It is not easy to know God to get a taxi certificate. Who does not know our language, has no chance to get through the exam. "The future drivers will be trained by the Guild and tested on its premises by the national association.
"The test consists of three parts: a written test, cartography, when the driver found on the basis of a map with no street spots in the city needs, and finally an oral examination explained," proboscis. "Anyone who can not speak German, falls through automatically."
Like the "black sheep go" but at the coveted ticket - apparently by "taxi Dusseldorf? "It seems to clearly indicate sources," said trunk. "We do not know if the taxi coupons are fake, or otherwise as these people go to them. Anyway, we have already launched in some 50 criminal cases, because we could demonstrate that the relevant driver had done no testing with us. In one case, there was already a conviction and fine of 300 euros. "
"These people make us break our good name!", Outraged the guild boss. She wants the fight against the "false taxi driver" more support from the city: "The traffic bureau shall issue audit licenses, even if the person speaks a word of German."
My fellow board member Dennis Klusmeier added: "Even people who have no work permit for Germany to get this permission from the Office - there is programmed in trouble."
