TAXIMETERS<br />
Beware<br />
of liars and bullies<br />
In fact, the G5 Taximeter fully complies with<br />
all CPVV requirements including the new<br />
requirement effective from 1st May <strong>2020</strong> that<br />
all taximeters automatically record all charges<br />
(including tolls) payable by passengers.<br />
Many taxi operators in Melbourne have been told<br />
over the past month that they must remove their<br />
Schmidt G4 & G5 Taximeters so that their Booking<br />
Service Provider (BSP) satisfies the CPVV record<br />
keeping requirements to maintain fare records for<br />
all dispatched jobs.<br />
This is a complete and blatant lie.<br />
There is absolutely nothing in the Regulations<br />
which requires taxi operators to remove their G4<br />
and G5 Taximeters to satisfy CPVV record keeping<br />
requirements.<br />
Spreading such lies is misleading and deceptive<br />
conduct and therefore illegal under Australian<br />
Consumer Law.<br />
Instead of being forced to remove your G4<br />
or G5 taximeter by underhanded bullies<br />
who falsely claim that this is a requirement,<br />
Schmidt Electronic Labs are able to wire your<br />
Cabcharge meter to connect to the dispatch<br />
system and still enable you to use your G4 or<br />
G5 Taximeter for all non-dispatched jobs. This<br />
is the very best way to protect your personal<br />
information and the privacy of your income<br />
data. After all, it's your business and your<br />
income data, and nobody else’s business -<br />
certainly NOT the business of your BSP.<br />
Help to protect your interests by reporting to<br />
Schmidt Electronic Labs the name of anyone<br />
who tells you that you must remove your G4<br />
or G5 Taximeter. This will then be immediately<br />
reported to the Australian Competition and<br />
Consumer Commission (ACCC).<br />
