Cabbies urged to keep crime watch

TAXI DRIVERS are being urged to report crimes they spot while driving through the streets of London. The London Taxi Watch initiative aims to persuade drivers to pass on information to Crimestoppers anonymously. It is hoped that the nature of their job will enable them to alert the authorities to suspicious behaviour.

Nissan’s NV200 London Taxi revealed in production guise

Nissan’s NV200 London Taxi revealed in production guise The lack of investment in the traditional London Taxi has left the door wide open for competitors, and Mercedes has made a good pitch with its Vito Taxi. But perhaps the most promising option for London Cabbies is the new Nissan NV200 Taxi for London – previewed over a year ago – which has now been fettled enough to be rolled out in something very close to production guise. Designed by Nissan’s London Design Studio, the NV200 Taxi for London is very similar to those Nissan has produced for other iconic taxi hotspots round the world – like the yellow New York Nissan Taxi – but comes with a bit of a pastiche of the traditional black cab’s nose with a new grill and round headlights.
