A blind woman wants taxi drivers to complete a passenger assistance training

A blind woman wants taxi drivers to complete a passenger assistance training course after claiming she has been refused lifts because she has a guide dog.
Jill Allen-King, who is in her 80s and lives in Westcliff-on-Sea, Essex, said she had been denied a taxi on many occasions over the last 10 years. "There were certain drivers who wouldn’t take my dog," she said.
