btw, do vosa acknowledge Compliance Certificates (as issued in place of MOT's at one time) as a bone-fide document of equal legal standing?

last time i had one the post office accepted it for taxing purposes for a HC, but surely the new style MOT procedure (started 2006?) only issues pukka test certificates, my "compliance" test saturday didnt include a brake or emission test...


No Idea! one thing that confuses me is that a compliance is as good as an MOT, but seeing as VOSA / Police / Post Office have a super dooper computer that can tell if your vehicle is MOT'ed....doesnt the complaince certificate screw things up?

No idea. Council here stopped issuing them 7 years ago.

a PH needs one in 3 years

It would appear the PH lobby is a tad more efficient than the other lot. :D

Well that's my opinion. Why else do they license so many without requiring to see them on a regular basis?
How can they possibly know what buckets are being licensed if they never see them?

Possibly because the LO has certain issues :shock:

If they dont see them? Are you suggesting taxi drivers might actually tell porkies? :shock: :shock: :shock:

so tell me, if theres a AOP defining what a taxi is, even down to the question of roof lights and use of the words taxi/cab,etc in signs, how come each LA can have its own supplementary rules and regs? surely an AOP is the legal law of the land?
