| Post subject: | makes me mad........... |
Ive paid good money for a minibus 8+1 MPV, in the age range to plate PH, its got all the toys, luxury trim, belts, aircon, etc, etc, etc.... i just saw a school bus pulling into the local high school. pre-war model i think, which war? well, its log book must be in latin, what a joke. if i had a CPC (or employed a holder) and an o-licence i could avoid all the hassles of petty local council bureaucracy, bought a tacho'd 15 seater (cheaper than the tourneo) and been trading faster i did start the cpc course but let it slide when the trade dropped off. why cant PH+hackney come under VOSA regs+rules, just like it looks sub-3500kg van ops will do before long. this would also include tests at an independent HGV test station, so no variables there! |

You must be joking, there is nothing consistent about HGV testing stations |

You must be joking, there is nothing consistent about HGV testing stations what i meant was HGV stations have no interest in passing/failing with regards to the chance of charging for repairs, unlike certain test stations, like one used by a LA when i was plated before, they had tendered low to get 200 test a year (400 with the 2 tests a year) then always failed us and wanted to do the work, never big jobs or complicated, i.e. emissions on a carb/petrol engine but never an injection or tdi "we can set that up for £30" or a wiper blade - £15 fitted..... at least dick turpin wore a mask... |

I would sooner all under 9 seats came under taxi/PH regs. and be stuck with widely varied local council regs and rules and officers who either havent a clue or want to rule the world? with badge+plate charges which vary depending which borough or district you live in, and when 1 area accepts only 2 years old vehicles when next door takes smiley transit minibuses? ive just paid £115 for a medical, whose paid less, whose paid more?.... stupid we all pay the same road tax dont we? (subject to vehicle class) |
