A bit confusing or what so if i have a office & operators license in area A and all my drivers are licensed by the same authority but my 2nd office is in area B which i have a operators license and drivers working under that authority and i take all the jobs in area B by one person sitting there and he or she sends the jobs to the call centre in area A and then it is dispatched to the drivers in area B is that legal? Also i myself live in area C but i can have a booking terminal at home via the net with an ip hanset linked to our phone system in the call centre and take calls from home but they are taken in area C but the jobs are despatched from the call centre so i take the call on our remote terminal in a totally different authority but send it to our call centre to be despatched is that legal?????????????


Labraiz.

I assume you are only talking PH vehicles?

What you suggest would be perfectly legal. Or should I say 'nearly impossible to prosecute'.

Clever structuring of businesses and accounting practices would aid your cause.

And I very much look forward to an owner/driver trying the self drive scam there.



But the owner does not drive in self drive...........or so we are told by the lying scum bags :lol:


If it is a limited company, the company owns the vehicle not any individual. :roll:


The scam is unfolding...I expect the vehiles are on a contract as well so when you get nicked and the fines are big ,,wind up the company and start again..

and grandad you see no wrong in any of this???

As mentioned previously there is a precedent local to me There is a local taxi firm whose office is in Rutland who operate a fleet of hackney plated vehicles licensed for SKDC plus one licensed Rutland taking work from both districts

The LO's for BOTH Rutland county council AND SKDC say that this is LEGAL I think the problem arises with PH for an all Hackney fleet you can operate from outside of the licensing area according to the local LO's

At the risk of being controversial... :D

The PH can accept work whatever district they are in, provided the call is received where the PH operators license is held and the vehicle used is licensed by the same authority.

In respect of the HC.....no PH op license is required.....as per gladen case.

But perhaps the vehicle when accepting the job should be within its correct licensing area....as per DPP vs. Com Cab.

Or even more arguably the person accepting the call for the hackney carriage should be licensed ?

Hornets nest rattled :lol:

I was picking up some customers of mine outside the Central nightclub in Stamford in one of my limos and there was a queue of taxis waiting to pick up. I noticed that most were SKDC licensed cars but there was a Rutland plated car in the queue as well. Is this normal?
