Listen, i have a Private hire car, i previously had a general (Taxi), We dont call "TAXIS" "Hacks", we refer to hacks as purpose built vehicles, so when someone needs a wheelchair car on the radio, the dispatcher will send out the message over the datahead E.G hack needed in Hollytown. the taxis aren't really called generals on the plate it will say E.G taxi NO.65 (my old plate number) but refer to saloon taxi as a "general" the same as you call all taxis down your way "hackney carriages". But we refer to a a PH as a private, so a taxi is a GENERAL and a PH is a PRIVATE that is how all the drivers in this area and dispatchers refer to different taxis, as for the ph having a max of 16 seater that was my mistake it is a max of 8.

here is what a PH plate looks like on my saloon 5 seater superb


Here is what a Taxi or general as we call it looks like on a 5 seater saloon

I'm sure Gus will confirm - but the description in the Scottish Act is different to the English and Welsh acts.

Hence - in Scotland you have taxis - in E&W we have Hackney Carriages.

10 Taxi and private hire car licences.

(1) A licence, to be known as a “taxi licence” or, as the case may be, a “private hire car licence”, shall be required for the operation of a vehicle as—

(a) a taxi; or

(b) a private hire car.

surprised to see taxi and PH plates are the same colour. our taxis have a blue surround whilst PH have yellow. dosn't stop people confusing them, esp. the ph drivers who seagull the town centre of an evening.

That's right. No such thing as a Hackney Carriages in the CGSA 1982, just Taxis and PHC.

United, it's your local descriptions that are confusing everyone. Our southern neighbours have enough trouble understanding the different laws here

I think it's the next one up from a Lieutenant General and four up from a Colonel.

If he's got the company signs on the car the lady might have thought he was for her and was making herself known to him, he didn't know she was booked and was booted off for doing his job in a Hackney.

Sounds like your firm needs a Nuke dropping on it's offices. If I were the driver every job they gave me I'd now show it, I wouldn't even go for the job I'd be at pick up on the rank, POB on the rank and clear on the rank.

Make the vvank office staff and grassing drivers work for their money.

yes he has liveries of the company on the side and his roof sign has the liveries too

i don't really like any cab compan there all rouges really, and every monday mine take over £20,000 in total from the drivers radio money

So he did nothing wrong IMO. I'd be kicking the door down to the office when he pays in.

Me too bit over the top i think anyways, and he is entitled to pick up where ever when ever either through radio hires of rank/flagging

here is a general and a private sitting side by side, i don't like the fact the PH's in this area don't get any stickers or plates on the front of our cars, as my only id that i am a ph is a rear ph plate rear window sticker and a radio arial, all of those are at the back of the car so sometimes when you pick of from some places some people don't know that you are the car the taxi they phoned for
