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?

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

Quote:
CGSA 1982
Savings for certain vehicles, etc.


22 Nothing in sections 10 to 21 (with the exception of subsection (7) of section 21) of this Act shall:-
(a) apply to a vehicle used for bringing passengers or goods within and
taking them out of an area in respect of which the vehicle is not licensed as a taxi or a private hire car in pursuance of a contract for the hire of the vehicle made outside the area if the vehicle is not made available for hire within the area;
(b) apply to a vehicle while it is being used in connection with a funeral or
wedding;
(c) apply to a vehicle while it is being used for carrying passengers under a contract for its exclusive hire for a period of not less than 24 hours.

Thank you for enlightening me :wink:

22 Nothing in sections 10 to 21 (with the exception of subsection (7) of section 21) of this Act shall:-

(c) apply to a vehicle while it is being used for carrying passengers under a contract for its exclusive hire for a period of not less than 24 hours.


Many thanks for enlightening me :D

I can't work out why the limo lads are having a pop at the 24hr Scottish opt-out, cos it's legal.

As opposed to this self-drive scam. :?

I think it was aimed at me. It missed by a long way.
