The situation that you described is not a grey area though is it?

when i asked this it was clearly stated that the (in my case) woman/girlfriend/daughter has to stand in the dark rainsoaked, thug infested alleyway rather than get in a PH vehicle...

Well..At least until they had the Good sense to phone and book a Private Hire vehicle. And im sure there is no law on you Offering them that bit of advice or indeed Even lending them a Mobile phone to phone from...and being the Good Samaritan your are even Give them a PH phone number...and if it happens that if the Only number in head your is own...well so be it......your Conscience is salved and when ever you shuffle off this mortal coil and get to those Pearly Gates they will swing open and the vagueley familiar Angel who once was that Stranded little Lady on a wet cold night will turn around and say.."If your PH of course you can enter the Kingdom of Heaven, but if your HC then you can bloody well go wait in the Queue until the Next angel comes along"...

I should hope that you all teach your near and dears on how to utilise PH or HC properly.. If not.. shame on you for complaining about the drivers...

Anyway
A car can offer advertising without breaching license regs because if he's dropping there, he's not soliciting for Trade.
This can be by means of car graphics, cards, verbal etc..

If the punter then complies with regs by booking through a licensed operator, it is to that companies discretion as to which vehicle they send.

So long as the job starts or ends within the LO area, no laws broken...
(that bit applies to the supermarket question as well)

The job can start where it likes, and end where it's likes, as long as the booking was taken by an operator licensed by the same council as the driver and vehicle.

Excuse my Ignorance, not being English and that..But how does this English Licensed operator work in PH or HC? Does it mean a small Owner/driver has to have all his runs booked through a Third Party Licenced operator? Or can the Owner /Driver himself be the Licensed Operator?

Does he Have to have an Office to take every single Booking through or can he take bookings by means of call divert?

I fail to see how a small PH or HC business where say its owner owns two cars and he and say his wife are the Owner drivers that it could pay him to have a fully manned office and staff to take the small amount of work that he would likely expect from Two cars..especially if he lived in a rural area.

looking for a straight and Uncomplicated answer...ty

where the phone is answered is where is operator license has to be registered for ph, hacks don,t need ops license can take call anywhere

still confused..is it Building that is licenced or a person? and if that Person was the Driver and the call diverted? would that be Ok?

ph can run from home, hack from vehicle

person that is licensed

call can not be diverted to a vehicle for ph but can be for hack

Yes to both.
