The taxi driver used my mother's death to weasel an extra £35 out of me. I booked a taxi from Witney to Leominster because I was told my mother was in hospital and would most probably die . When I got in the taxi, I asked the driver if they could take me straight to the hospital in Hereford instead of to my parents' house in Leominster. Doing so made the journey that I had already paid for online shorter rather than longer, and the taxi driver demanded an extra £35 despite the journey being made shorter by this minor alteration. He knew I wanted to go to the hospital because my mother was dying. I hope that extra £35 was worth it for him because I will never forget that driver. He used my distress in order to gain an extra £35 for himself. An honourable and decent human being would have not charged extra because going to Hereford hospital instead, made the journey considerably shorter, and therefore saved him time and petrol money. Not only did this driver lack common decency and compassion as a human being, but they used the distress of my mother dying for their own financial gain. I lodged a complaint with Taxicode and never heard anything back. I doubt now that I ever will because they do not care.
