So you obviously object to the Law Commission suggesting having a Fitness and Propriety test for PH Operators should be dropped?


You're saying the LC is suggesting dropping the fit and proper test for PH operators?

So any old crook or gangster could have a PH operators' licence?

But you miss the point of the current standard for 'fit and proper'.

Which is would a person trust the applicant in a motor vehicle with their nearest and dearest.

That is not a 'fit and proper' assessment.

It might be your narrow assessment, but the Act says 'fit and proper' PERSON. And that is in regard to both driver and operator licences.

So by your analogy, this licence holder is one kind of PERSON when he is holding a driver licence and another kind of PERSON when he is holding an operator licence.

OMG Ammer Naveed must therefore, in your opinion, be a Schizophrenic!!

They are two different licenses.

No they are not; they are two different licences.

Same person, same 'fit and proper' criteria. How can or should it be different?

And it's those that argue that it is different that make a complete mockery of this important part of licensing.

If the standards for MOT's can be managed on a national basis why not the standards for taxi and PH vehicles ?
