I can never understand people who adopt that attitude particularly when a) they know it's the law, and b) they have the required documents with them anyway

What have they to gain other than making a spectacle of themselves, as we say in Scotland, eejits.

I remember a taxi driver refusing to show me his taxi badge saying he'd left it at home. Given that he'd already failed the attitude test anyway, I told him he couldn't operate until he picked it up and displayed it correctly in his vehicle. At that he produced it from the glovebox, shoved it in my face and said "happy now"

He ended up off the road anyway and facing 12-15 charges relating to minor road traffic offences and regulations relating to his taxi licence, (including not wearing a tie).
He also faced a visit to the local authority licencing board, to explain himself.

If only he'd accepted the advice I'd originally offered in the first place.

Some people never learn.
