This isnt against private hire, just curious as to how legal they are. I suspect when the council did the traffic order they included PH in their taxi definition. |

Unfortunately, the abbreviation PHC isn't well known amongst the general public, so for clarity it would have to be put on the signs in full (Private Hire Car). That, in turn could complicate the signs to the extent that someone being prosecuted could claim the signs were confusing and unclear. Hope that makes sense. I think Sussex is right, they will have included PHC with Taxis in the traffic order. |
