blue tack it to the shaded part behind the mirror or in the top left of the windscreen, if anyone says anything , just tell them its against the law to have anything on the dash that restricts your vision, and they can check with the testing station for the facts

Allow me to repost the regs...

8.1.10 A driver shall at all times when acting as a Combined Hackney Carriage and Private Hire Driver, display their dashboard licence on the vehicle dashboard using the Council supplied mount. It shall be in a position as to be plainly and distinctly visible to the hirer(s), however, it not being within your line of vision.

so upright, not on the glass, not sloping.....

They took them back and said they where against mot rules, and are now awaiting half sized ones to stick on the top of the windscreen with blue tack
