What Is The Current Trend In Private Hire and Taxi Collisions in London?

This article will analyse and explain the trend in private hire and taxi collisions and what this means to private hire and taxi drivers in London. What they should do in the event of a non fault accident and tips of avoiding car accidents in general.  Private Hire and Taxi Collision Map 2016 – London The collision map above has three colors symbolizing the number of accidents that occurred in the area. Green represents between 1-53 accidents, light blue represents between 54-106 accidents and the dark blue between 107-159 accidents in the filled in areas. These collisions include fatal, serious and slight collisions. These numbers are not surprising as private hire drivers and taxi drivers spend most of their days on the road and have a higher probability of a collision. The wage being average on most parts means longer hours of driving resulting in a higher chance of a collision occurring. The map shows us that the most accidents occurred in central parts of London which is the busiest area of London by far. What Will These Numbers Look Like In 2018 Due to Uber allowing people a way to earn independently as a Private Hire Driver without having to work for a minicab company, there has been a surge in PCO licenses being given out in the past few years. Therefore, this can only mean a critical increase in the number of collisions occurring in London, far more than ever before. One of the reasons for this is, a lot of Uber drivers have shifted from part time driving to full time in search for a higher income. However, due to non stop hours on the road, this can only mean fatigue and loss of concentration on the road. Many a times, customers request to get to their destinations faster and due to the review system in place for Uber Drivers, to get consistent work they feel obliged to listen to their customer. Irrational driving will also inevitably lead to car collisions and a huge expense on repair. How To Avoid Car Collisions As a Private Hire / Taxi Driver Following Crystal Claims two simple rules, you should be on your way to safe driving. Drive According To Road Rules – Do not feel like you have to drive fast because you don’t. You will still get to where you want to go even if it takes a little longer but your life is more important. Take Frequent Breaks – Taking those nap times and frequent breaks might make you think that you could have taken on one more customer but we promise you that the break will lead to more customers served safely. If I am In A Collision What Should I Do? If you are unfortunate enough to be in a car accident then you should read our guide to ‘What To Do If You Are In A Road Traffic Accident‘ and you will have all of the information you need to make sure you tackle the situation properly.

Avoiding Car Accidents: Special Report May 2018

Introduction This report details an in-depth analysis of UK’s current car accident trend on a yearly basis. This report also studies factors on the reasons behind the current trend and how these factors may affect further years ahead. Our study goes by the theory that we will see a further increase in car accidents over the coming years. This report concludes with explaining what are the main causes of car accidents and includes our experienced advice on how to avoid overall car collisions. Reported Road Casualties Trend 2016 (Latest Figures) After studying the total reported road casualties yearly reports from 2011 being the first year of the study, we were able to find a surprising development. From 2011 – 2013, we found reported total casualties to drop from 203,950 total casualties to 138,660. All 3 years you will find the number decreasing. However, from 2014 – 2016, that number increased back to a total of 181,384 reported casualties in 2016. By looking at the graph above, it seems that overall the number of total casualties in car accidents has decreased over time, however, I would argue that this number is going back on the rise due to a few factors. “I would argue that this number is going back on the rise due to a few factors” All results were founded from the Department of Transport’s National Statistics report which you can also view by clicking on the hyperlinks above.

How To Prove You’re Not At Fault In A Car Accident

Whose Fault Was It? Being not at fault in a car accident saves your no claims bonus, allows you to use our services here at Crystal Claims Management & gives you that peace that everything will be okay as long as you’re not at fault. The golden rule is, if you’re not at fault you’re not financially liable for anything. Only if you can prove you’re not at fault. Learn below on what things you can do to prove you have been in a non fault accident which will then make the whole claims process a lot quicker and easier to resolve. For those who are at fault it might be useful to read our ‘What To Do In A Road Traffic Accident’ to ensure you grab all the details you need to be fully prepared. Moreover, we also provide free advice on your claims over the phone. Do The Basics Before any other tips and advice, it is extremely important that you cover the basics right after the collision as it is at the time of the accident that it will be the easiest to find evidence on who is at fault or not. Many times claims processes get delayed because sufficient information is not gathered. To learn more on the basics, read our article, ‘What To Do In A Road Traffic Accident’ which goes over all the details you need and how you can do this. Take Names. Take Numbers. If there were people who witnessed the accident it will help if you could get their consent to take their names and numbers and request them to vouch for you. As these people will not be related to you nor will you know them in any way, this will help boost your credibility. It’s All In The Evidence Remember how I mentioned to take pictures in the previous article, well why not go a notch further and see if there were any cameras from stores or houses that were pointing at the area of the accident? Having a video that shows clearly you are not a fault is what makes the fat woman sing and brings your flowers to life with happiness. Having pictures ready that show signs that corroborate with your story is just as crucial. They can show where the vehicle was damaged that can tell a lot about who could be at fault. The Driver Said A Bad Word Many a times the at fault driver will get out and begin swearing and blasting to make it look as if it his not his/her fault. There could also be the situation where the driver comes out and says, “Really sorry about that, don’t know what happened there”. Other times you can simply ask, “Was it your fault mate?” and he/she replies “Yeah.. Sorry”. Whatever the situation is, record it! Record all communication and admit to nothing. That recording can be used and if the other driver slips out any indication of the accident being their fault then you already have an Oscar winning audio tape right in you very old dresser. Now Do You Know Whose At Fault? If you are certain you have been in a non fault car accident then it is time for you to call us. We will do all of the paperwork for you, advise you, provide you with a replacement vehicle, repair your car for you and recover your damaged vehicle. Yes, we will do it all and I know you don’t believe me and you don’t have to. Believe London. We are that big and awesome. Crystal Claims Management will take care of you and you know it!

Cold Calling & Fake Claims: Special Report June 2018

The National Nuisance: Cold Calling “Have you been in a car accident which wasn’t your fault?” How many times have you received a call from a number that you don’t recognize nor can you call back and have asked you the above question? I know I have many times and once I even said yes to see what happens. I was then transferred to another person who I could tell English was not his first language and began asking me question over question on how the accident occurred and when it all happened. I asked the person who this was and from which company he was calling from but he simply answered in a way I could not quite understand what he was saying and went back to the questions. I asked his name and company again and he began to stress his question on whether I was actually in an accident to which I finally replied no. Quite instantly he shut the phone on me. BBC News state in their article ‘Nuisance calls result in a complaint every five minutes’ that “The Information Commissioner’s Office said about 370 people a day complain about cold calling, with more than half of those calls now automated.” However, there are steps we can take to ensure that these types of companies do not go unpunished and how we can stop this national nuisance. Can Claims Management Companies Cold Call Anyway? Claims management companies must register themselves with the ministry of justice and therefore follow a few strict rules that also include ‘No unsolicited cold calling, approaching members of the public on the street or knocking at doors. This is known as an “unsolicited” approach and is illegal.’ Kevin Bolton gives an excellent understanding on this topic on his blog at Accident Claim Expert. Therefore, if you do get these types of calls you can take certain steps to ensure that these types of companies do not harass you or anyone else again. How Can I Stop Getting These Calls? In a recent article called ‘I’m being plagued by nuisance calls about an alleged accident’ by The Guardian, it explains how you can register your number with Telephone Preference Service (TPS), whom also have an app to allow you to register and report dodgy numbers, and they will ensure all cold calls are blocked from even getting to you. How Do I Complain Against These Fake Accident Claims Management Companies? This is how I would go about it, next time someone over the phone asks if you have been in a car accident. Say Yes. Then while answering the guys questions try to get as much detail out of him as possible about what the company name is, whether there was a website you can visit to learn more about the credibility of the company, where they are located so you could visit them directly and talk about the issue, what the persons name is. The more information you gather the better! Once you feel you have all the necessary information which is authentic that can help the Information Commissioner’s Office (ICO) then go on their website at https://ico.org.uk/ and make a complaint. Be rest assured that they will do everything in their power to ensure that the company will never harass others again. The Other National Nuisance: Fake Claims & Lies On the other side of the spectrum there are claims management companies out there that orchestrate fake car accidents so that they can cash in on it. Furthermore, they can also prolong your claim to ensure you keep their vehicle as long as possible so they can get more out of it. How this affects us directly is simply because the more car insurance claims are made and where insurance companies are left to spend a lot because of this, that can end up increasing our car insurance premiums by a huge margin. However, I would still urge you to read our article, ‘Why Choose An Accident Claims Management Company Over Your Car Insurance Company In A Non Fault Car Accident‘ to learn more on why it is still the best choice to go to companies like us than insurance companies. To summarize, it’s because we offer to take care of your whole claim while you can relax whereas going to an insurance company means a lot of paperwork and a lot of unnecessary headache. Why is Crystal Claims Management Different To Other Accident Claims Management Companies? The fact that we have written and shared a whole special report on this matter to inform you of the issues should show that we do not practice any of these unethical and illegal points above. Crystal Claims Management works solely on keeping our clients happy and to do that we focus on honesty and building trust. You can check out our reviews on Trust Pilot to see what others have said about us. Our business comes from our clients referring us to their friends and families therefore we do not do anything to destroy that trust ever. Therefore, we do not go down to the level of cold calling and fake claims simply because we don’t need to. The solution to avoiding bad accident claims management companies is to come to us. Call us and we will tell you how.
