There is a lot of so called drivers touting for business and some are being recommended on the forum but are they registered? Those who support these unregistered drivers and ordinary vehicles instead of the inspected vehicles are just making it harder for the ones who obtain and pay extra for a special licence and drive a vehicle registered for passengers, out of business. What about insurance. Early this month we were stopped several times by police and papers checked. I observed another driver paying cash to the police fine/bribe. Look for the special sticker on the windscreen of the vehicle. Read the waring above about the temple. Was he a proper driver. You have been warned. I only use the one driver, the same for several years. A registered driver and registered vehicle and never a problem. 250,000 a day, all day. any where.
