Taxi Driver Online

What you should have asked is how many people have been successfully prosecuted under the circumstances as described. I don't believe any one has because it is a grey area. To drive an ordinary car you are required to have your driving licence, tax, insurance and an MOT. Then you get into driving a licenced vehicle which is a grey area because some councils when testing their vehicles issue them with a compliance certificate instead of an ordinary MOT. Now, that vehicle under that licence and test must be driven by a licenced driver, but if you get an ordinary MOT on the vehicle at the same time it changes the ball game and places it into another grey area which as far as I know has not been tested, and neither do I think it will

C.o.C or M.o.T does not alter anything,the LAW is you must be a holder of the relevant Council issued drivers license to be able to drive the relevant Council licensed vehicle. FACT

If you are working............

If I live in Sefton and have a car licenced in Liverpool.....and my wife drives it in sefton.....can Liverpool prosecute her...

No reason why they should not if Sefton Officers pass all the information to Liverpool.

A TAXI(hackney carriage) can be road tested by a mechanic who is not licensed by any Council as per LAW but the same exemption is not in any Law regarding private hire vehicles.This applies to all M.o.T. stations also.

It's none enforceable.......If you as a ordinary person buy a car to drive....and that car had been a p/h and was still licenced for 3 months ...are you committing an offence..

If the vehicle license has not been revoked,suspended or handed back to the Council,in a nutshell YES,it is against the LAW to drive a licensed vehicle without the correct drivers license issued by the relevant Council.
A person with your experience knows this.

Mr.T have a look on page 40 of this months PHTM outcome of a case in relation to above.

So an innocent person could be prosecuted......

You need to look on page 40, it is page 42 of the online version, the page number at the bottom of the page is 40, a dead giveaway really.

Pick on you time.

I did not post that quote,it must be past your bedtime as your eyes are tired and cannot read what is written correctly.

Apologies Heathcote, cocked up on attributions.
Mr T stated "Do. not see what prostitution has to do with this"
Heathcote stated "Nor do I."

The Prostitution story refered to was on page 38, the Driving a PH vehicle article was on page 40. You need to look at the page numbers of the printed paper not the acrobat page number to get the right article.
