And I am sure if they had a choice that is exactly where they would keep you.

Like I said before I know someone with brother just like you and he likes to keep him out of :roll: "harms way" :roll: also.

Maybe you and he should meet up. :wink:

if you are a driver who has a brief and is a fit and proper person under the rules why should you not have the right to have a plate and not be held to ransom to get one.
as we all know plates cant be sold but CEC turns a blind eye to plate transfers which are done as buisness transfers.
the simple reason PH has taken of is that people just cant aford to pay the price that is demanded by the greed of others and in truth i dont blame them.
IMO all plates should be returned to the councial so that the next person in line has a chance to have one you dont see PH plates being transfered as there is no point when all you have to do is pay your £700 and off you go now the same should apply to TAXI plates and that what happens when there is no restriction on numbers.

At the risk of disagreeing with you that is complete and utter tosh.

seems common sense to me? seems a fair representation of the current "market" WHY should drivers be allowed to sell plates, are these not strictly public property? when no longer required the plate should be surrendered, and next in line on councils list should have first refusal. Forget what has happened in the past, it may be whats going on, or how it's done, but you don't really think it's how it really should be, anyone who claims to support the current system must stand to gain a lot is all I can say.
