It's not something I lie awake and think about either but it would involve less form filling and consequently less cost.
Yes, for those currently requiring both drivers' and operators' licences, presumably, but that wasn't my point, which was about drivers who don't want the facility to take bookings directly.
Thus my question was about any unnecesary additional costs/bureaucracy regarding the latter, either for the driver or the licensing authority.

I don't see why a phd wouldn't want the ability to take their own pre booked work given the opportunity
I suspect that if they wanted to then the current impediment isn't really a huge one. Unless you're talking just taking the odd job here and there, which again isn't going to make a huge difference to the driver in any case.

and providing they didn't have to run around the houses so to speak to obtain the license, as is the current method
Ah, so you're saying there is lot involved in obtaining a current PH operators' licence?
Thus even if this was streamlined slightly and some sort of dual licence available then wouldn't it entail a lot of additional running round the houses for drivers who don't want the option?

Why would it cost any more to administer phd than it does taxi drivers?
So you're now alluding to getting rid of the PH operator licensing requirement altogether or extending it to taxi drivers, or what?
Quote:
The normal scenario is enslavement of drivers to operators and that is not good
Well if obtaining a current operator's licences is enslaving them then I can't really see streamlining the licensing process changing this much.
You've bored me with the same questions asked differently, but I am curious how you manage to get your head so far up your own ass you see light every time you open your mouth.
