T for Taxi
It is easy to think that just because you’ve put your drunk friend in a taxi that they are safe.
Where possible, try to:
- Use a licensed and recognisable taxi company
- Take a photo of the taxi licence plate and badge
- Travel home together or stay on the phone with them until they are home.
Nottingham City Council’s Taxi Licensing team are working hard to make sure your trip in the city is safe, pleasant and of good value.
You can find read more safety tips on their website, including how to book a taxi and make sure that the one that has come to you is correctly licensed.
