Taxi Driver Online

It's legal for a Scottish taxi/PH to work England and Wales without needing an E&W license, and vice-versa, so maybe he doesn't need one.

A scottish taxi/PH must return to it's LA on completion of a hire, unless it has another to go to.

But which part of the act applies to E&W?

Mrs Sussex is legally allowed (and insured) to drive the Sussex mobile in Scotland, as Benson and Boyce doesn't apply there.

I doubt the Sussex mobile is licensed under the 1982 act, so I don't quite see your point.

My point is that a taxi/PH licensed under the Scottish legislation cannot base itself in E&W or in another Scottish LA, without breaching the act under which it is licensed.
The reverse may not be true, however. The 1982 act doesn't apply to a taxi licensed under English legislation. It depends what the English legislation says.

As for a German taxi, your guess is as good as mine. I know bugger all about German taxi law.

If I chose to pay for HC plate off a LA 100 miles away, provided all the legal paperwork and only sat at home here taking calls, not plying for hire, what regs am i breaking?

im right at the meeting place of four LA's, any would sell me a hack plate, whats to stop me selecting the cheapest with the easiest set of regs and plating there?

As long as it is licensed under the 1976 act it doesn't need to also be licensed under your act.

However the legal provisions of the 1976 act can't be enforced in your country.

The point, reverting back to the nutty German, is that it would be an interesting case to see if he did work his German cab in B&H.
