My private hire car license expired fri midnight. Earlier that day my car was in for inspection which it passed ok , however i over looked the expiry date of the car license, and not being told of this either by the inspection centre on the day, missed the deadline to renew. Problem i have now is that the renewal costs over 250 quid and having spent a lot of money on the car pre inspection, including insurance i have nowt left over for the full 2 year license renewal. What id like to know is will glagow city council be able to issue a temporary 6 week license / permit to allow me to legaly drive a private hire car. Im not sure under what circumstances they would issue a temp license but all i need really is a week or so , if i cant get out to work i cant pay for the license. Catch 22 and it sucks ok. Maybe if they sent in a reminder few weeks prior to expiry i may never have spent a fortune on the motor. Didnt really need it but just keping it up to date thats all. Problem is im now broke lol. Any advice most welcome,,cheers.

I would be amazed if they do.

yeh im sure you would, Those w*****S show no one goodwill. I was refused my renewal today and had to re apply as a new license. Because i missed the
deadline by one day. Got confused as i thought my fridays inspection WAS part of the license renewal procedure. So one one hand i had my inspection, on the other, same day my car license expired. Council said could be 12 weeks by the time my license comes through,,ouch. I paid 149 quid for temporary license so i may get this within a week, time will tell.

aberdeen send out reminders a month or two before deadline but it's really upto the individual to remember on time!
still a bit of a bummer though!
