Factor indicating lower culpability
1. Providing a service when no licensed taxi available


What's this bit about and why should it make a difference?

Why should HC be treated any different than PH when it comes to disqualification ?

It's mitigation, and like most crimes there are different levels. What a defence brief will say is that no taxi driver lost out as their were none available. And it's better the person got home in an un-licensed vehicle than drove his own vehicle pi**ed up. :?

Because pen pushers draft and MPs vote for crazy laws.

And because crazy people vote for crazy MPs.

I am lead to believe than 2 taxis constitutes creating an illegal rank
