Default Who would knock an illegal cab?

Just curious after hearing something on the radio.

Assuming you'd get in a dodgy cab in the first place or didn't know it was dodgy at first, who would, has or wouldn't knock one (Do a runner without paying)?

Hmm, dont see why you would tbh. If you knew he was an illegal before you got in then it was your choice to do so.
If you didnt know but he got you to your destination with no getting lost, dangerous driving or overcharging then whats the diffrenece between the service he provided you and what a "legit" cab would do for you?

Either way i'd pay him if he got me there.

If he got lost or drove scarily then i may consider a lesser amount to simply cover his fuel costs.

But i'n curious why you would run, if you ever have of course.

I try and avoid using cabs full stop, they are generally a different type of grubby breed.

never had a problem with illegal cabs in central London - they used to be the only option to get home as black cabs were afraid to go south of the river after midnight.

As for grubby breeds - I find that the gentlemen that work for the AA are grubby.....and having to listen on their racist viewpoints for 5 hours because their van is incapable of going over 3 mph really pi$$es me off.
