Surely if they are unlicensed then they are neither PH nor taxi drivers :?


But what's the difference between a PH and a Hack ???

Find out in the next exciting episode of........

If we are going to get technical unlicensed PH are in fact unlicensed taxis.



Technically they're just a car with a driver....

If you are being technical about it, in Scotland a taxi picks up unbooked hires from a public place.
Anyone doing this (including a PH) is acting as a taxi and needs a taxi licence.
No taxi licence? Unlicenced taxi.

PH pick up booked hires, as can taxis.
Doing so without a PH or taxi licence?
Unlicensed PH (since it's technically PH work)

More than 8 passengers and it's bus work.
Ask VOSA about that one :lol:
