3) people that run on 24 hour contracts have no room to talk
I agree. I however, do not run on any of the above contracts. I have a full hack licence and plate issued by Aberdeen City Council. I don't engage in shady practices, do you?
NOPE
The 24hr contract exemption in the CGSA was intended for school contracts and the like. I don't suppose limos were even considered when it was written. It is similar to the 7 day contract in your legislation and the sooner it is binned, the better. I believe only one contract can be undertaken per 24hrs
