If your meaning is it a proper purpose built vehicle as opposed to a car ? I suppose the answer is yes.I can choose what i drive to and if i want to be hackney or ph.I can also choose to be on a company or work the streets.So weve both got a lot of choices.What i dont get if your happy with your work stop worrying about mine !

.Blackpool Council had proposed a new age limit on it licensed vehicles.
The proposal was that saloon cars have an age restriction of 10 years instead of the previous 14 years. Wheelchair Accessible vehicles would have a 12 year age limit. This was due to be implemented in 2013.
Councillor Peter Callow stepped in to request the deferment after being lobbied by drivers.
Bill Lewtas of Blackpool Licensed taxi association commented,” We have always said there is no need for an arbitrary vehicle age limit on taxis.
Since the council increased the frequency of taxi tests and made the standard higher, we have already achieved an improvement”.
