I don't want to ruin your day but if you follow the law by the book once a car is licensed for private hire only licensed private hire (or taxi) drivers can drive it :shock: although I remember reading somewhere on the Aberdeen City Council site that they took advice from the Police on the matter & they said they turn a blind eye to drivers spouses =D>

I cant see it lasting long, self employed, own vehicle, as long as you dont smoke while passengers are in, i dont see how they can make it law, or at least how long it will stay law.
I smoke (not when mobile) and only with my window open, often punters comment on "how nice and clean and smells nice" my car is. And "its nice to get a taxi that doesnt smell of smoke"

I'm sure theres been a total ban in Dundee for a couple of years, but Im not sure how it's worked out. I've seen one or two drivers smoking when I've been in Dundee, but I suppose one or two will always ignore the rules.

Or maybe i'm wrong about the total ban.
