A 28 year wait is over for a York man who has finally received his hackney carriage licence and has recently taken delivery of his New E7 from Cab Direct.  Earlier this year the City of York Council voted to grant 15 new hackney licenses, much to the relief of existing drivers, following initial plans to deregulate.  Amongst the drivers to receive a plate was David Broxup from Clifton who was ecstatic with this news after waiting a lengthy 28 years on the list for a licence.  After such a long wait, David is delighted that his time has finally come.  He comments: “I never thought this would happen”. 

A Good Decision

Having been awarded his licence, David didn’t reach his decision on what cab to buy lightly.  However, after reading up on all the options available, David quickly decided that New E7 was the ideal vehicle for the job.  Designed and manufactured jointly by Peugeot and Cab Direct, New E7 offers a new generation in hackney taxis, purpose-built for the professional driver and with ground breaking features.  David comments: “The E7 has absolutely everything you need in a hackney taxi.”

David, who works from various ranks around York and who also helps out the private hire firms in his E7 when needs be, is enjoying both his new job and his new cab.  He says:  “It’s a really nice vehicle to drive.  And it looks excellent too – I’ve had loads of positive comments about how smart the cab looks”.

Comfort

David has also been impressed with E7’s comfort.  He continues: “The comfort levels are superb and the driver’s seat really makes a difference.”  At Cab Direct we appreciate that driving a taxi day in day out is a tough job.  That’s why we have built the Peugeot E7 with driver comfort in mind.  The carefully sculpted driver’s seat

comes with active, pump-action height and tilt adjustment which, combined with steering column adjustment, allow you to create your optimum driving position.  New E7’s top-specification driver’s seat also provides optional lumbar support – ideal for anyone who spends long hours behind the wheel. 

David, who plans to work until his retirement in his New E7, couldn’t be happier and has been recommending the E7 to other drivers.  Perhaps, however, he is already preaching to the converted as he comments: “Everybody I speak to has nothing but good things to say about the cab.”
