Leeds Driver Safety Show








Organised by the West Yorkshire Local Transport Plan Partnership, and supported by all the West Yorkshire Taxi Licensing Authorities, the event was mainly focused on safety and security issues and the way they affect drivers and passengers.  It was also designed to let drivers and operators see, first hand, equipment from the UK’s leading manufacturer.

Mr Dorian Franklin, Managing Director of Cygnus Automotive, said “We had a successful show at Leeds and generated interest in CygCam, Cygnus’ in cab CCTV security system”.

Visitors to the show were able to purchase the latest hand held TravelPilot Lucca MP3 Edition for £299 - an excellent discounted price, normally £449.99.  In addition to the same features as the TravelPilot Lucca MP3, it has full European mapping and comes equipped with a Smart Cradle for a convenient connection to car radios.  As well as a fantastic price Cygnus’ offer included a free mini fridge worth £39.99 at no extra cost.  This offer will be available while stock lasts.  So if you would like a fully transportable satellite navigation system, the TravelPilot Lucca MP3 Edition can be purchased direct from Cygnus Automotive on 01543 573912.

The benefits of CygCam in-taxi security device are evident by the purchase of multiple systems by Corby and Bedford Councils to enhance the security of their local taxi operators.  The features that enabled these authorities to become actively involved in the system were, the data protection management, use of video clips on removable storage media and sound recording.  It helps to safeguard the driver and passengers against incident or attack and gives complete peace of mind.

Also shown was a selection of the taximeter equipment for which Cygnus are famous.  This included the new MR350, blue LED taximeter and the world beating MR400 taximeter.  These were linked to Cygnus’ own brand printer, the PT73.

Our local dealer Mr Neil Carter from Mann & Overton (Leeds) came along to the show and supported the event.
