Cardiff taxi decision!!!

Quote:
Review of Licensed Vehicles

At its meeting of 4th December 2012 Cardiff Council's Public Protection Committee resolved to make a number of changes to the current vehicle age restrictions and testing frequency.

As a result, the following changes to Cardiff Council's Taxi Licensing Policy & Vehicle Conditions come into effect on 1st January 2013.

1. The ‘prestige' classification of vehicle will be removed

2. There shall be no maximum age of first licence for any licensed vehicle.

3. All licensed vehicles will have a maximum licensable age of 12 years

4. All licensed vehicles will be tested annually until 5 years old, then every 6 months thereafter (applicable upon renewal after 1st January 2013)

These restrictions apply to all hackney carriage and private hire vehicles and include purpose-built vehicles.

If you have any queries regarding these changes please contact the Licensing Section on 029 20871651.






Clause 4. An absolute joke.

To my way of thinking it should be down to the mileage of the vehicle - unless it is blatantly obvious that something is amiss :wink:.

For example driver 1. doing 25,000 miles p.a - stating the obvious is going to have 50,000 on the clock after two years. A driver purchasing a vehicle two years behind driver 1. but double shifting it i.e 50,000 p.a would in terms of wear and tear would by the end of year three have 150,000 miles on the clock, some 25,000 miles more than the driver who started two years before him, now on year five. Driver 1. has a vehicle in better condition in terms of wear and tear, but is subject to two MOTs per year - driver 2. has a younger plated cab with more wear and tear (double the mileage of cab 1.) who can still go another two years before an MOT......................NO sense whatsoever.
