That's really good, and a common approach by those wishing to avoid the questions. [-X

Well your original comments were more than vague and considering it is this website that normally does the investigating around here and the fact that you mentioned it was someone on this forum then we were entitled to solicit a response.

Maybe if you gave your correct name i could say if it was you or not , trouble is some on here dont disclose any sort of ID so who knows what anyones first name is let alone last name.

Still sooner or later i,ll figure out who fits the name! :D

The problem with using alias,s whilst dealing with goverment officials and LA,s is that after a while they figure out who you are and pay no attention mainly because of the anonimity.

Still, i really enjoy a bit of detective work and you can find anyone if you know how and where to look. :wink:

I respect your knowledge of the regulations and laws within the Taxi/PH trade , but i seriously think that for you to suddenly step outside this little world your in and move into something which you have very little knowledge or facts of previous legal goings on would be foolish to say the least.


My little world as you put it, does not revolve around limos, however part of it does centre on the illegal activity of "hire or reward" and in case you hadn't noticed that is the law under which we all operate?

I know there are many in the limo industry who can't find a legal home in which to operate legitimate hire or reward and who therefore have to rely on contracts that probably wouldn't hold water in a court of law. However, having never seen one of these contracts I may very well be mistaken but I doubt it.

To suggest I am out of my depth when it comes to hire or reward is preposterous and I suggest it is the limo industry who fail to understand the concept of "hire or reward". The fact that VOSA and the police are incompetent when it comes to prosecuting unlicensed limousines that operate under bogus contracts is the only lifeline available for many in your industry.

It would appear that many limo operators seem to think they have a given right to operate hire or reward without a license just because they are a luxury conveyance. The fact of the matter is that those operating under what is commonly known as schedule six conversations are classed as a minibus. We wouldn't condone a minibus operating without a PSV license and therefore we don't condone a limo dressed up as a minibus operating without a license.

I doubt you can point me to any self drive hire minibus operation in the UK that operates in the same way as some of your colleagues.

In respect of legislation, it can't come quick enough for me but I suspect even then it won't be a size that fits all.

Regards

JD

These are the very people who you will need on your side yet you say they are incompetent. That should help your crusade no end.
