Taxi Driver Online

Hi all,

Just wondering, what is the strangest car you have seen plated? (Either as PH or Hack)

I'll start the ball rolling.. round here there is a 58 Reg Jaguar X Type, 3.0 V6 plated for PH. Fair enough for airport work, executive clients etc but it's out all the time doing the usual shoppers, drunks, etc. Can't imagine the MPG being decent! Or repairs/servicing costs!

Fire-engine and tank.

Is that Trike actually plated?

Forgot about the Fire Engines/A Team vans etc..

Yes it is plated by Flintshire Council.

Might be running on LPG?

Bude rank

Smart car plated for 1 passenger

Talking of smart cars, A guy drove into my Local Railway station in a Hotel Liveried Smart car, Instead of just the one client he was expecting two had arrived off the train, After a bit of heated debating on what to do he threw one case into the boot and the other on to the front seat and left both Old dears to walk to the hotel. They were still walking 10 minutes later as I passed them enroute to their hotel with another 1/2 a mile to go.

we've got a PH company which has to S320 Mercedess plated for PH lol with private regs (R88 EEC, R99 EEC)
Also they have few Eclass Mercss aswell
(R66 EEC, R77 EEC)
£3 anywhere around town lol

Not sure if it is still around, but a couple of years ago there was a new Bentley in Padstow, Cornwall. Looked totally out of place with a plate on it.

Rav 4s in Brum; a few of them.

And a few 2-door Fiestas by mistake a year or so ago.

Landrover discovery td5, I think it was Denbighshire plated.

My local licencing officer refused to licence my Range rover as a PH car because "he didn't like jeep type vehicles", so it ran on a psv licence for 3 years to wind him up.

The village of Clovelly in North Devon has a hackney plated Landrover for taking lazy sods up and down the hill by passing the pedestrain only cobbled street down to the harbour. It effectively uses the "taxi bus" rules as I understand.
