Maybe in your area where, HC plates have a premium of £50K, going into the HC sector would be a prudent move and worthy of the extra investment. However the matter under discussion is an area where the plates are valued at £3500. Maybe you should take time to consider why plates demand premiums, and why one areas plate premiums differ so greatly from another.

If drivers from any area decide that the cost of buying a WAV is prohibitive, then they will choose to either stay PH or taxi journeymen.

But surely it must be down to drivers to decide what's best for their own individual circumstances, not an out-dated and flawed quotas system, being kept in place by out-dated and flawed councillors.

Consideration should be given to ensure that the advice offered by groups like this benefits the driver in his own area, instead of benefitting some members of this site allowing them a feather in their cap, as they are quite obviously incapable of convincing argument towards their own licensing department.

Anyone who thinks that councils keep quotas on the basis of a coherant argument, is living in dream world. :-s
