A taxi driver picked up a blind man and his dog. After the trip started he demanded an extra fee for the dog. The blind passenger refused to pay because it is an illegal charge. The driver dumped him out on the road, with his dog in an unfamiliar area. He was totally lost and only got home safely because a kind person gave him a ride.
The taxi driver has been fined almost 2000 pounds and could lose his license.

What the driver did was illegal. It was also very dangerous for the blind man. It could have ended very badly for him. As it was it was a traumatic event.
Hopefully the steep fine will make others think before they treat a disabled person so badly. Certainly it will make people think before they discriminate against a guide dog.
