I know of many drivers who would be better off under a PAYE system.

Providing they get holiday and sick pay.

I'm also certain that if the circuits owners had to pay the drivers a wage, then those cars and drivers would be a lot more busier than they are at present.

Circuit owners would look at the trade they generate. If they reckon they can cover it with 100 drivers, they would hire, maybe 110 to cover holiday/sickness etc. and see how it goes. Too many drivers and they don't replace retirees or others that leave. Too few they take on some more.

The days of taking a rent or settle from more than needed would be over, drivers that make the "cut" could and would do well, those that don't will struggle.

If it happened, I foresee the numbers of PH dropping, and Hackney numbers in non-restricted areas increasing at least in the short term. It would actually be the market forces deciding the numbers.


interesting times - the ph trade is seriously changing, and tbh its been created by their greed
