That would depend on how long they have to keep their private hire records.

Six years for private hire records? That seems a long time. ours state 1 year but i am sure i read that GBP guidelines say 6 months.

Grandad,

Generally, but not always, summary offences have to be brought before the courts, or information laid before the courts, within 6 months.

Can't see any action being taken now.

Ok Thanks. That helps. See, I didn't know or think of it that way. I thought after informing them I wasn't doing it as a PH but as a favour, and not getting paid in any way, removes the notion of TAXI/PH/Hire_and_Reward. Just like running my neighbour to the shop or similar in my private car.

I have a long way to go then. It's good to have a place you can get tips like this. Nothing is free really!

Cheers.
