Tough On Taxis, Tough On The Causes Of Taxis

Policing in Gwent is a strange thing. It's nice to know their spending so much time cracking down on the real ills in society though.

A 12-hour police swoop on Newport taxi drivers resulted in nine vehicles being prohibited for defects and nine drivers reported for plying for hire in breach of their taxi licence.

Thirteen fixed penalty notices were issued for offences including speeding and not wearing a seatbelt, one driver reported for driving licence and insurance offences and one vehicle seized for no insurance.

I'm sleeping sounder in my bed tonight knowing that the police took 12hrs to achieve that kind of result. In other news, Ringland burns to the ground.
