A chap (in N.I.) reckons hes got a 15 seat bus which he takes seats out down to 8 for PH work (on a plate) but also uses it at 15 seats on a D1, says he has dual plates....i.e. PH and O licence... I know our LA would get confused.... |

Although I have seen a similar thing with a Charnwood licensed vehicle that clearly had more than 8 passenger seats when I saw it. |

From memory there was a case, involving one of those stretch things, where the number of seat belts indicated how many seats the vehicle was licensed for. But a PH is always a PH, and never a PSV. Even if it has a PSV license. |

In my area once you plate a car for private hire it's illegal to remove the plates unless the cars plates are being surrendered,the same applies to door stickers though this is often flouted. |

The charnwood vehicle was all plated and stickered up which is why it caught my attention when I counted 12 passenger seats. |

Some up here do that, Sometimes it's a Coif D1 minibus, then the seats come out and it's a Plated PH, some also rent them out as a 16 Self Hire Minibus and driven on a basic Car License. God knows how they sort out Insurance on a vehicle wearing that many hats. |

I used to know a Hertfordshire driver who had a psv/ph Volkswagen. As for self-drive psv, then the psv licence is a must for the driver. If it goes out with under 9 seats, then the driver must have a ph licence. simples. |

Given he needs a CPC+O+DCPC+D1 (licence) for the + 8 seats hes only having the PH option so a a PH driver can drive it... wouldnt it be simpler to just put his PH driver thru a D1+DCPC? can a D1 vehicle work as PH? |
