| Post subject: | hackney carriage license |
hi all... I am a hackney carriage proprietor and wish to sell my hackney carriage and plate to a driver who is renting a plate fron another proprietor, the problem is licensing dept wont transfer it cos the driver buying plate his vehicle is over 4 years old now, and vehicles have to be under 4 years on 1st presentation, but seeing as the vehicle is already licensed should it not be a transfer |

You can sell the cab as it belongs to you but the plate does not, its the councils |

no problem he can "rent" yours....... 
cant he...... (car and plate) and vehicle stays in your name technically in fact your car and plate to his name should be a simple transfer (£65 here) whats his car worth, whats yours worth......swaps?..... more than 1 way to skin a cat |

The 1847 act only states that you must inform the council within a specific period of time that a transfer has happened, so in effect they have no control over who you sell to. Ask them to point out which law stops you transferring your vehicle. However if you don't want a ruck then just add the fella to your license, and in a month or so take your name off. |

this is the scenario i am vehicle 1 buyer is vehicle 2 vehicle 2 already has a plate on it, but he is not the owner of the plate, so he is going to take plate of vehicle 2 and give plate back to its owner, we then want to put plate from vehicle 1 onto vehicle 2, but vehicle 2 is more than four years old |

Is this is a by-product of restricting HC plates then? or a side effect of the age rule? or both? |

No restricting here you just have to pay a lot for a hackney and no age limit if your cab is in excelent condition. |

Obviously the the OP is in a restricted area with an age rule of 4 years old max for 1st plate |
