Taxi Driver Online :: View topic - Displaying PH Licence and Touting

1. Do I have to display my PH badge when driving the car on personal use i.e just going to the shop, going to the recycling site or away for a couple of days?.

2. Is my vehicle parked outside my house (or friends house) displaying the name and phone number considred "touting" in the event that a neighbour or passer by asks for a quote/business card etc.

If a car is plated, unless the council have issued an exemption from displaying the rear plate, the plates have to be displayed at all times.

As you are always picking me up Mr Grandad I'm more than pleased to return the favour in pointing out Mr Tulsa was on about badges not plates. :wink:

I would think you would only be accused of touting if you actually excepted a job there and then to be carried out at that time.

If the job was phoned in it can't be touting.

blimey, im finding taxi driving to be a bit of a mine field! Maybe i should of told them to just phone a local cab company rather than saying call our number.. ill have to button my lip in future

Can if they phoned the number he gave them, I think. Could be wrong though.

I started work the other day and a couple asked me for a lift (i live by a bus stop) i told them its pre-booked only and advised them to phone for a taxi.. it just so happened that it was quiet in my area and the job came through to me.. so is that 'touting'? im a new driver so perhaps someone could advise me what i should of done in that situation?

If they phoned for a taxi why were they sent a ph?

If they phoned for a taxi why was they sent a ph?

Maybe but I doubt anyone does. 2. No, IMO, as it's allowed by the council. Especially if you are a licensed operator.
