I don't know, but maybe they were waiting for a Passenger to Board so they can "Witness" the Driver working.

You also say it hasn't happened for 20 years, so maybe that method of checking you are working is no longer used.

Chris, Edders said they waited for him to leave the rank with POB, so surely plying for hire is evidence enough that the driver is working?

And not really sure if it's relevant to a plated vehicle subject to inspection whether it's actually working or not, but I suppose if there's POB then it makes for a better headline and stick for councillors to beat the driver with :lol:

As for the 20-years-ago thing, I assumed he was referring to the, er, home visits in that regard, as opposed to pulling cars, er, pulling off the rank :-o

No Stuart they haven't done a snap inspection involving DVSA, council and police for over 20 years

Thanks for clearing up the difference between the 'home visits' and the on-street stops :roll:

I don't want to go down a Rabbit hole here.

I put "I don't know".

Maybe a Driver could say "I wasn't going to take a fare, just on the Rank as a convenient place to stop".

Who knows, who cares, I just postulated a scenario.

It hasn't happened for about 20 years.
