Re: respect
Unfortunately a Hackney Carriage Licence allows that person to "ply for hire" within the controlled district, this being Sheffield City boundaries, there is no legilation that can be used to force a driver, to use designated hackney ranks, and unless the vehicle is illegally parked or causing an obstruction of the highway, then there is very little an officers may do. Officers will always ask drivers to move to the nearest rank, if the deem that the vehicle is obstructing the highway, or illegally parked, as is the case with problems that arose around Leopold Street and Rudyard Rd. Common courtesy between drivers is exactly that, courtesy between drivers and it is not for the Council to set this standard, and we have no legislation to do it if we tried to set a "courtesy standard". Of course a complaint from a driver in relation to another licensee will be considered as with all complaints and will be investigated following the current procedures. You would have to make your complaint in writing to the Taxi Licensing Section.
