This is a bit of a grey area in this situation the best course is to tell them to ring your office to make a booking which then should go to the next car in line if that's you off you go, but then you get my phones flat or I haven't any credit scenario can you book it for me, I think this is sailing close to the wind though others may disagree but one thing you don't ever do is let them get sat in your car before you have the job on your screen though if it's p!ssing down you will not be very popular with your potential customers. |

I was under the belief that the phv taking the booking wasn’t allowed to take the the fare or had to drive around the block first and was hoping somebody might have some literature on it's becoming a major problem in our district the phv’s might as well be hackney |

Thanks in advance Pre-booked is pre-booked in my view, be that 10 minutes or 10 seconds. But the question you should be asking your LO is what has drawn the customer to the ph vehicle in the first place? Could a charge or touting or illegally plying be pursued? |

There are numerous Court cases on this subject where the decision was in favour of the Council when acts of the driver as described by Mansfield took place. |

Thanks in advance It’s a very fine line, around here the p/hire drivers won’t book it, they will tell them to ring and book it themselves, so there not involved in the booking, in Blackpool the driver will book it and send them to the back car, yes all a bit close to being illegal, then we have the apps, even easier, so yet again we have technology taking over, I was invited to a driver training at a local council to give my view on there training course, and a driver asked this question, the licensing officer said that if he took the booking he couldn’t take the fare unless he drove round the block and came back, I asked if he would put that in writing but he declined , so I would say that as long as the driver does not book the job in, it’s ok but if he books it then he’s not.

In the way he describes it I would agree and that’s what I said, but in the other instances I don’t think it is. |

well im PH on a base but also a PH operator with my own OP licence, a word through the window pre-entry could be pre-booked...  taking it on private property could ease the pain...

I used to be my own operators, a one-man business. If anyone approached me in the street for a job I'd tell them to phone the umber on the side of the car. I'd take the call then take them. Pre-booked and the call is recorded on the phone. However, I'd never sit on the street touting for business. My local high street was like a taxi rank some evenings with the line of ph cars waiting opposite the pub for business. In the small rural town there was only one hackney and no radio circuit. |
