If some of their lot didn't try in on, then no-one would have a problem. But as many do, they will pay a price for it. A price I may add that the taxi trade has been paying for over 160 years. http://www.thechauffeur.com/rogue-chauf ... usinesses/ |

Did I not read somewhere that pre 1960 cars no longer need a MOT, so there would be no checks being made on these cars AT ALL.? |

I doubt that it is most of them at the moment but you can rest assured that it will be all of them when they are licensed. We could have had a similar discussion pre 2006 Road Safety Act, but we didn't. In short we all (well most of us) agreed getting non-licensed vehicles into the licensed trade would be a good thing. And IMO it has been a major success. |

Maybe not a silver Ghost but there are many other cars and many other functions where a previously unlicensed vehicle will now be working when licensed. For instance taking the wife/girlfriend or both to a health spa for a pampering day/weekend. |
