here is a TAXI and a private hire car sitting side by side, i don't like the fact the PH's in this area don't get any stickers or plates on the front of our cars, as my only id that i am a ph is a rear ph plate rear window sticker and a radio arial, all of those are at the back of the car so sometimes when you pick of from some places some people don't know that you are the car the taxi they phoned for

Your LA is to be congratulated for keeping your PRIVATE hire vehicle ....private
