well, i know ph's shouldn't have a roof sign, but many of them have plates back and front and stickers on the side too help customers identify them when they have arrived, my only id as a ph is a rear plate, a taxi Arial and my rear window sticker plus my stamp on the back bumper, i have pulled up outside houses and the people walk right by you not knowing that you are the taxi they phoned for as there is no marking on the side or front to tell them that, even with you sitting right outside the door with the engine on, although one of the other taxi drivers (has a general) he takes his taxi sign off alot when he parks somewhere as he is scared someone might steal it? but wired but hey ho
