In New York, you can file a complaint online in about 10 seconds. Then you have to phone into a hearing scheduled at your convenience. The driver rarely shows up, and they hand out $200 fines like candy.
- potatolicious 14y agoNot just fines - points too. The TLC will yank your license if you do this too many times. In many ways New York cabbies have their entire livelihoods at the mercy of riders - there's not much in the way of filtering fraudulent claims.
- apaprocki 14y agoWhen I've tried to do this in the past, it required appearing in person. Have you actually phoned in?
- andrewjshults 14y agoI filed an online claim and didn't have to do either (the driver pled guilty). I imagine that the requirement cuts both ways (i.e., the driver has to actually appear to contest the claim, in which case they require testimony - if they can't/won't appear they have to pled guilty).
