To have the night collar is an expression meaning to have the night shift in a taxi. It originates from the days when taxi-cabs were horse-drawn and the night collar was a special collar burnished to reflect light, used to make the horse more visible at night.
"
Night Collar" is also a play about late night taxi drivers by Tony Furlong and Jimmy Power (c2003).
What a great title for a play!
