Just get one fitted onto a roofrack bar. Plays havoc with the mpg, but if he can run a merc at present, that won't faze him.

Here the conditions state a taxi must have an approved roofsign.
What's it say in yours?

I don't think not having a top sign will invalidate the insurance, but it will be a breach of license.

Shouldn't this be in the Scots section if we're referring to the Scottish act?

Panoramic roof, the only solution is to fit bars and have a suspended approved sign, I'm almost certain he'll be breaking terms if he's swanning about with only a dash mounted for hire sign in the window.

Would I be right that the sign must be there or the insurance is null and void

Use roof bars, a lad round our way has got a Peugeot with a nearly all glass roof, he fitted a roof bar so he could fit a top sign.

Can't find anything in the 1982 act which mentions top signs, so it's down to your council's conditions.

BTW CC is right, this should be in the Scottish section.

It must be a somewhat exciting experience sliding along the road upside down in an accident with all that panoramic glass between you and the tarmac... a real toupee shredder
