I currently have this conversation underway locally: Mr PHV driver: Hi Cabbyman, i chauffeur Celebs , CEOs and VIPs who require unplated cars due to privacy and discretion. I must admit I'm surprised to here there is a mondeo with a plate dispensation, I had to prove to [local authority] why I needed the dispensation with letters from company's and they also had to check both my cars out! 2 mins · Like Cabbyman: Under what legislation was the dispensation granted? Is there any such dispensation available??? |

That allows a PHV to operate without displaying a plate? |

Section 48 (5) Where a district council grant under this section a vehicle licence in respect of a private hire vehicle they shall issue a plate or disc identifying that vehicle as a private hire vehicle in respect of which a vehicle licence has been granted. note the word shall (5) Where a district council grant under this section a vehicle licence in respect of a private hire vehicle they shall issue a plate or disc identifying that vehicle as a private hire vehicle in respect of which a vehicle licence has been granted. (6) (a) Subject to the provisions of this Part of this Act, no person shall use or permit to be used in a controlled district as a private hire vehicle in respect of which a licence has been granted under this section unless the plate or disc issued in accordance with subsection (5) of this section is exhibited on the vehicle in such manner as the district council shall prescribe by condition attached to the grant of the licence. . (b) If any person without reasonable excuse contravenes the provisions of this subsection he shall be guilty of an offence. however, note how ambiguous section 6 a is! |

For once, I agree with you, TT. If the law requires a plate, you have a plate regardless of who you are carrying. |

2.3. There are occasions when the requirement to display an external identification plate may have the opposite effect in terms of customer safety and could have commercial implications for the operating business. The display of Local Authority licence plates externally may also deter some corporate customers from using the service; and in some circumstances the identification of the vehicle as a licensed vehicle may allow “high risk” passengers to be more readily targeted putting both them and the driver at risk. For example, vehicles used by Government Ministers or celebrities. 2.4. Until January 2008, chauffeurs and vehicles ex clusively hired for more than seven days by a single client were exempted from licensing requi rements (S75 of the Act). Chauffeurs are now included in the ordinary “private hire” licensing requirements and must secure PH licences for their cars and drivers – and comply with all of the conditions and legal requirements including display of vehicle licence plates and driver badges. Chauffeurs must also obtain an operators’ licence and have premises in this district where bookings are taken and records kept. There are a number of companies currently offeri ng traditional chauffeur services across the United Kingdom, based in Wychavon. 2.5. The legislation does give us discretion to exem pt vehicles from the need to display the Council’s approved identification plate and, where that exempt ion applies, the requirement for the driver to wear a private hire driver’s badge. |
