With slippery roads everywhere around the state, you should be concerned about driving this winter. In addition, not all drivers may be as safe as you are. Therefore, it is important to purchase a safe car, to stay alert, and to have coverage you can count on in the worst of car accidents.
According to The Chicago Sun-Times, Mayor Rahm Emanuel has made a commitment to make cabs safer by improving the caliber of vehicles and drivers as part of his proposed overhaul of Chicago’s taxicab industry. In response to industry complaints, the insurance policy that guarantees companies will comply with city regulations will now be dramatically reduced, officials said.
Activist concerns have also prompted the city to alter its definition of wheelchair accessible cabs to stop “rear access and swivel front-seat vehicles” which do not provide “safe and easily-accessible rides” for people with disabilities. “The mayor is open to working through changes, but will not budge on his commitment to drastically improve the quality of vehicles and drivers and the safety of the city’s taxi fleet,” mayoral spokesman Tom Alexander commented.
In April 2010, nearly 6% of Chicago’s 6,800 taxicabs were taken off the street because they were salvaged or rebuilt vehicles that are illegal to use as taxicabs. Today, the City Council’s Committee on License and Consumer Protection is scheduled to vote on Emanuel’s plan to drive newer, more fuel-efficient vehicles and for drivers to spend no more than 12 straight hours on the road.
