I'm sure it's been discussed on here before, but does anyone have a definitive answer or does it depend on individual councils ?
We have a driver here that regularly carries his very young son ( 5 or 6 yrs ) in the front of his Hackney whilst working ( at least he uses a child seat though!) my question is, is he insured ? Also, he's licensed to carry 7 but can't because of his son in the front. I can't see this being legal.

That's not right.

I understand the fella needs to earn, and the kid is safely strapped in, but working cabs are for punters, not child-minding.

I'm amazed no one has complained.
