6 monthly in Glasgow for PHV and Taxi testing

Once a year in the Borders and all vehicles off at 11 years

What made you change cars skippy? The only reason I moved is that my area only allow the saloon taxis and ph's on for 5 years and hacks 10 but if this rule didn't exist I would defo still be in the octavia

Wanted a bit more room as I have a very good customer who has tall guests that come to stay, and I cover the local rugby club, and some of them are like outhouses on legs I could have got another 3 year licence in March.
Was sitting number 2 on the rank last night when 2 guys got in the first cab, got strait back out and came to mine, I ask if there was a problem one said they could not get there legs in behind the drivers seat, a mitsubishi carisma, they where very impressed with the superb got an £9.00 tip for an £11.00 job
Now if by some miracle everyone did that

very good and i get alot of people who praise the room in the back get some pics of it up with it's sign on etc but they are nice cars and good to drive

West Dunbartonshire test were
8 yrs and over 3 per year
Under 8 yrs 2 per year.
Under 1 yr old one test
After a two year campaign the Clydebank Public Hire Association have got that reduced to,

0-3 yrs one test
3-8 yrs. 1 test
Over 8 yrs 2 tests

Taxis between 3 and 8 yrs will be given an extra test each year if they have a major fail on steering brakes and suspension or present a taxi unsuitable for testing.

Not the best but an improvement.

Next up fees. West Dunbartonshire currently increase fees in line with their overall budget regardless of actual costs. 4% due on 1st April.
