You can't take the signs off. Once plated, the plates and topsign have to stay on. There is no dispensation available for Hackneys.

And there is an implied, if not statutory, right of appeal to the mags court if aggrieved! Enjoy your holiday!

It states "permanently affixed" and "Shall not be removed."
