| Post subject: | Wirral PHV age limit |
In a rare moment of joined up thinking, Wirral M.B.C have finally realised that a privater hire car may not be totally shagged out on its eighth birthday and have now increased the age limit to ten years. If I buy wisely I could get a decent car plated for about a £1000. |

I don't think it'll make any difference to the numbers entering the job but it will mean a newbie can become an owner driver easier. |

If I buy wisely I could get a decent car plated for about a £1000. is that for its first plate? I can only see that the age limit has been raised for vehicles with a plate, not new grants so dont celebrate just yet |

Most areas have an age limit of about 3-4 years for new car to "the system". |

LA's (and the licensing committee) of many areas have this wonderful image of their rank being populated by gleaming new identical, uniform cars, i have two LA's around me that border one that does not, so cross the border and you can run a X reg smiley swb minbus with 8+driver seats held together with duct tape... |

I think you'll find you won't be able to plate it at 10 years old. |
