Why? Does anything here indicate that he did that?

Who wants to get in to a taxi with a one eyed driver. I will give that a miss

Nelson whupped the Frogs with one eye ! And a few ships.

Why? He's perfectly capable of driving. It just sounds bad, "taxi driver blind in one eye", but hey, that's rhetoric for you. Contrary to popular belief, people with sight in only one eye don't wander around bumping into things and driving in front of oncoming trains all the time

Considering some of the murderously unskilled morons driving taxis these days - like the one I had the other day who obviously had only learnt to drive on his way from the asylum centre, was so nervous he braked about 100yds behind every hazard and had to ask me to turn his car around in a tight spot - I think I'd prefer old one-eyed Jack here

I was driven around several times by a work colleague that had sight in one eye, what a nightmare. Perhaps the taxi drivers eyesight is different in some way BUT it scared the hell out of me.

Would it be a different story if a taxi driver with sight in one eye hurt or injured somebody through his driving, would you moan at the council for giving him a licence??

Why don't you people, who write on here to complain about bad taxi drivers, write to the council instead. It is they who issue the licenses in the first place, so they should be held responsible for the drivers who can't talk English; don't know where they're going;hold a driving license they bought from a man in a mosque; have no checkable work record etc.Every taxi has a number, just make a note of it next time you are over charged or receive bad service, then write a letter of complaint to the licensing authority and make sure they follow it up.

Oh, get over it paul, you tiresome tosser

Well done Winchester City Council for appealing to crown court. Diabetes can effect both eyes, blind in one - need we say more!!

oh magoo you did it again

what a crazy idea to have a partially sighted taxi driver driving people around , sounds like mr magoo really does exist.
vehicles already have BLIND SPOTS & this taxi driver has a total blind spot all to his right side 180 degrees.
i am sure that if this man was ever involved in an accident that his insurance would be invalid for himself & his passengers & anyone else involved.

i think the judge & the council made a very sensible decision in this insightfull case.

surely this avoided an accident just waiting to happen.

would you let stevie wonder drive you about in a taxi ?

Maybe he'll start up a new company

COLUMBO CABS

When you see some of the people that have been given a Motability adapted car when they can barely walk, I'd rather take my chances with a one eyed taxi driver.

Eye one for one would not trust him.... robbing cabbies are bad enough but one eyed jack thats taking the ****

When you see some of the people that have been given a Motability adapted car when they can barely walk, I'd rather take my chances with a one eyed taxi driver

but none of those people carry around the public, and their cars have been adpated and made safe for them to drive how can you adapt a car to give the sight back in the right eye?

Well I tried to catch his attention last week with the customary extended arm signal but he drove straight pass me.
I now know why.

Maybe it's because you were giving him the finger too?
