So what?

A dyslexic person is classed as disabled, but that would not give him rights to drive a saloon HC in a WAV only LA!

So I'm sure we'll find out in Dundee if this guy wins his case.

Incidentally, this whole thing started by me suggesting the driver could have obtained an exemption.......at which point holy hell broke out and I became the spawn of satan.

I was alluding to exemption, if Dundee Council was not aware they could give the driver an exemption that's p*ss poor, if your association wasn't aware, that's worse because your association are the ones who should be looking after your members interests.

If the T&G didn't know about the exception I'd be very surprised, in actual fact I'd say that was an untruth.

Again, this whole thing stinks to high heaven, yet I am the one being castigated.

so i ask you again if this was someone who you represented would your views still be the same or would you back him up. yes or no

That's because you were thinking taxi driver!!

You should have been thinking disabled person licensed to drive a taxi!!

I think the council are sh*tting themselves.

If it goes to court it will be a bloody good Equality Act test case.

I think that too, as do a few people wanting to get their hands on saloon car HC licenses.

If this is proven to be the case.

Could I get my father in law, mother, mother in law etc to get their names on saloon plates, because from memory, they're all registered disabled.

That's as may be, but I am sure the council will set conditions on the transfer of the licence; it will have to revert back to a WAV on transfer to an able-bodied licensed driver.

I'm confused, although maybe not.

You see there's a Taxi Proprietors license and a taxi drivers license.

One is attached to a vehicle the other is attached to the driver.

A disabled relative could attach his name to a plate and for that reason the plate would always be a saloon plate.

The driver of the vehicle needs the exemption, not the vehicle.

It will all depend on the guys personal disability.

The council have to make 'reasonable adjustments'. That's what the Equality Act says.

Why are you still writing about exemptions?

It's got f*ck all to do with exemptions from taking wheelchairs.

I dont think theres a pre-requisite within any act for the licensed owner of the plate to be able to drive.

Indeed, if the owner of a company, with say 100 plates suddenly becomes disabled, then I suppose that area would be losing 100 wheelchair cabs.

if, and it's a big if, the council were to offer bruce a exemption certificate, would it be accepted as a victory for common sense, or would the desire to change to saloon status still be persued through the courts?
