He would have to have a PH badge to drive it, and that will cost i.e. medical, CRB, and yearly license.

Then the van would need a PH license, and PH insurance. :wink:

When you take your vehcile for it's test you do not have to produce hire and reward and you don't have to show that your a lincensed PHV driver.

You won't get a transit van licensed though as it will not meet the conditions.

You DO NOT have to be a licensened PHV driver in order to get your vehcile plated. You DO NOT have to show hire and reward insurance.
It's a loophole that is being spoken about in london alot at the moment.

...once it has been produced, if required, the policy can be cancelled.

Good idea for a family car then? Save a fortune over 3 years if you go in every day.

He could always buy an alternative fuel vehicle and only pay £10 per year.

I'd ask Blobby about that one, I think you will find the opposite, in fact i'm certain you will find H&R does'nt have to be produced. The cameras don't check who is driving, it's a well documented loophole that has'nt been closed by TFL or SGS. Hence the reason they're not in Bus Lanes.

But he wont get exemption unless he is registered as a licensed PH, and he wont get that unless he has a PH badge and a proper PH insurance. I would imagine.

Anyway, what is to stop someone getting hire and reward insurance and once it has been produced, if required, the policy can be cancelled.
