Taxi Driver Online

if i can afford a roller.. (the special plate here is a small square chrome plate, and no door signs, costs as much as a PH though)

seems if i have a minibus 15 seat driver licence i can also run upto 2 lwb 15 seaters with no cpc on a restricted o-licence....

The wording of the 1976 act says that any office work is procured from needs an ops license from that area.

That website is trying to gain work, thus that domain name address needs an ops license.

very intresting ,we have a company picking up clients at crewe station nearly every day in unplated vehicles ,they have a contract with a major bank and there cars are always at crewe picking up ,they have vehicles plated as ph but also unplated vehicles pick up ,passats,mercs ,etc ,there drivers park on double yellow lines and just walk past with name boards for the bank ,these vehicles are licensed in a different area to crewe and they park in front of the hackney rank on double yellow lines forming there own pick up point ,theres been complaints galore about them but nothing gets done

i meant the web address registrant can be anywhere, even a nominee or webmaster, no connection with the actual ops

Is a website an office then?

Grandad,

The website's domain is based somewhere, and that's where the procuring is taking place.

Same as a phone number isn't an office.

Apart from the vehicles with no "visible" plates (which may be bank company vehicles) I don't see a problem. Vehicles licensed in a different area are entitled to pick up if the booking arrangements have been followed.

Then it doesn't matter, and as long as the job goes via a licensed PH op, in terms of PH, and the driver and motor are licensed by the same council, then everyone is adhering to the law.

i can assure you there not bank vehicles ,the ph company in question all have personalised number plates ,some which have ph plates and others display nothing ,there is no problem with ph picking up its there unplated vehicles picking up we object to ,booking arrangements should be time .company,and the persons name ,these people just have the name of the bank displayed on boards and just usher the bank staff to there vehicles ,

Spot on....Ive noticed the tendency for these vehicles to have Personalised number plates to...Im guessing thats to conceal the Vehicles age as they get older, they all look smart but im sure banks wouldnt personalise number plates on ferry vehicles...executive vehicles or not..

the Vehicles are hired for runs as hire and reward, there may be some thats owned by banks or business but if they all are then somes moonlighting at a dozen different venues for different companies.

Make a note of their registration numbers and report them to your LO.

Your LO must reply to any reports you make, and they can contact your neighbouring councils to check if the vehicles are licensed there.

In fact under the terrorism act they can get their housing folks to check to see who the owners are. But don't go there.

Keep us up-to-date on here with their replies, or lack of replies.
