Taxi driver won't take a guide dog

This taxi driver seems to have a few excuses as to why he won't let a guide dog into his cab.

This sketch was filmed by Guide Dogs UK. They say: "Imagine if you were illegally turned away by a taxi or minicab. How would you feel? Upset? Angry? Embarrassed? This happens to people living with sight loss with shocking regularity, just because they are accompanied by a guide dog. The charity Guide Dogs is campaigning to end this everyday form of discrimination. We want tougher sentences for taxi and minicab drivers who illegally turn away guide dog owners." More information
