Do chauffeurs have to have a visible plate on their vehicles in Scotland?

Scotland still have the contract exemption so if you have a written contract to provide your services then you don't need a license.
There are proposals going through to end this abuse though.

When i had the Tourneo 8 seater i used to "feed" a local coach owner (1 man band) and his missus did too, in the family car
That's illegal too. Rout-v-Swallow hotel and the St.Albans case would cover that scenario.


well Bowen travel (Tamworth) use cars and a small bus with no plates, whats the difference?

the family car could be registered to the guys coach company
LF Bowen, a long-established PSV holiday operator has 2 lots of PSV licences totalling about 80 licences at 4 registered operating centres. I suspect any feeder vehicles they use have PSV discs. An operator search shows that to be so.

So is it possible that the guy is operating under chauffeurs services hence no plate or visible signs of licence.
