But it is still licensed and subject to an appeals procedure.


surely THE law out ranks licensing law?

i.e. its a taxi with no insurance, its being seized under section 165A of the Road Traffic Act 1988 plate or no plate



that wasn't the question

The question was can he remove the plate? And the answer is no.

Your saying a duly authorised person (in this case a Licensing Officer) cannot - under any circumstances - remove or demand removal of - a vehicle plate?

well when a local LA changed to "WAV's only" hacks any non-WAV hack (on the due date of the change) had the plates removed wherever the vehicle stood, if access was possible, so did they act illegally?

If a vehicle is deemed unsafe by a licensing or enforcement officer, what powers do they have to remove the vehicle from the road immediatley?

They can suspend the license if they go through the correct procedure, but if a vehicle is unsafe then the police or VOSA need to pull it off the road.

I dont think a LO has the power to stop a HC/PH which is why they usually swoop with the police in tow

The police can stop you, but you don't have to follow him to a testing station? Vosa have different powers.

Are you saying that if the council are doing a spot check on vehicles using the police to stop vehicles and the police to check the vehicles, you don't have to go and get your vehicle checked?
Similary, if the Council are doing checks with VOSA inspectors but it is the police that are stopping the vehicles, you still don't have to go to the inspection?
