Newport taxi age plan returns NEWPORT council is again looking at putting age limits on taxis almost two years after it lost a court case on the same issue. Under the proposals laid out in a council report, cars 15 years old or older could not be newly licensed as a hackney carriage or a private hire vehicle. Newport licensing committee will look at the draft proposals next week as part of a new set of regulations. Newport council tried to introduce age limits in 2009, with tighter restrictions of 12 years for hackney carriages and eight years for private hire cars. But the same year the Newport Hackney Carriage Drivers Association won a judicial review against the plans, forcing the council to re-consult over changes to its regulations. The new report is intended to prevent older cars being used. But drivers who already have a vehicle licensed would be exempt until they change their vehicle or the licence is transferred to a different proprietor. As well as the age limits, the council will also look at alternatives including testing vehicles over ten-years-old three times a year. Other proposals include new checks on drivers to make sure they have the right to work within the EU and criminal record checks on drivers. The proposals will be put to licensing committee tomorrow. http://www.southwalesargus.co.uk/news/ |

There should be no such thing as age limits. e.g If I purchase a new vehicle and then for whatever reason mothball it for the next 15 years, then providing that it has been properly serviced during that time it should drive like brand new. The point being is that it should be about mileage...........not age. |

But if you do high mileage on the Motorway, in fifth or sixth gear, the vehicle will not be as clapped out as a low mileage, town driven heap that has spent its life in second and third gear. Or so I believe. The only answer is - if it passes the test it stays on the road. |

The worst bit comes when you literally start coughing all sorts up after about 6-12 months in my case. But keep it up; I wouldn't be alive today if I hadn't stopped. |
