In conjuction with committing any offence it would apply. It certainly covers offences relating to hire or reward in respect of all Taxi licensing legislation and indeed it is backed up with case law, which of course can be found on TDO, if you have the time to search?

I suggest you consult a solicitor if you require information on any other driver license matters.

But I thought that you knew the answer to this. You are far cheaper than a solisitor. :D


I have told you the position in respect of Taxi legislation and the two sections of the Road traffic act posted above speak for themselves. if you cannot interpret their simple meaning then what chance have you go of interpreting any form of legislation?

It says no person shall drive a vehicle without an appropriate license. thats simple isn't it?

It also says it is an offence permit a person to drive on a road of vehicle of a permitted class where no license exists.

Thats simple as well, isn't it?

Regards

JD

That is not what the paragraph says at all. You have changed it to suit your view. As I read this bit of the law it is refering to a persons driving license not a council badge.

I gave you condensed simplistic version of what the section means, considering you appear not to understand it.

How big a picture would you like me to draw? If you don't understand the offence in both clauses just say so, we can then try to accomodate your lack of comprehension.

Regards

JD

The word INTERPRET is very dangerous !

It causes more problems within law than any other word .

Simply because its 1 persons reading and not BLACK LETTER LAW (which usually has a totally different, precise and exact explanation of the law.)

Many Eu Directives presently floating around the net are wrong because they are interpretted, if you look at the title of most it will say INTERPRETATION of etc etc.

Speak to VOSA they will be more than happy to explain how these interpretations are causing a lot of confusion. They have to go by original Documents not INTERPRETATIONS.

I'm not saying I have spoken to as many VOSA folks as you, but the ones I have spoke to have been completely useless.

All bar one bloke in Southampton who approves single type small bikes.

Mainly because limo folks are using PSV regs to run as PH.

Councils are far from perfect, but illegal plying or booking is as illegal in Newcastle as it is in Plymouth.
