Cabbies Catch a Break

Taxi drivers in Montreal will no longer be fined for displaying religious objects. The city has recently clarified a bylaw regarding religious objects in taxis. They have told their inspectors to be more tolerant in their inspections.

The result comes as an especially important victory for one cabbie. Arieh Perecowicz was fined for over $1400 for various personal objects in his cab. He fought these tickets for years before finally losing last month.

Luckily for Perecowicz the city also decided to revoke all of his fines.Perecowicz says he is very happy and considers this a victory for all of Quebec.
