Age limit for Hyndburn taxis all set to rise


TAXI drivers in Hyndburn will be able to operate older vehicles as part of a new trial scheme.

Currently a private hire vehicle must be less than five years old when it is first registered for use.

But a new initiative will see that rise to seven years, in a bid to aid drivers.

But the council said that new vehicle testing procedures will improve safety and standards for passengers.

A spokesman said: “It is proposed to increase the maximum age at which vehicles can be registered from five to seven years.”

Why have the council done this, have PH numbers dropped quite low ?

I suspect the opposite.
