| Post subject: | New driver having way too many problems! |
Thanks for looking guys. I am a new Hackney/private hire driver, but I'm struggling to get a vehicle. Obviously cars need to be under 6 years old, diesel is better, estate is good. I finally found the ideal car, a 2011 Renault megane tourer 1.5 dci . I have to have a swivel seat put in it for local council rules. But the fitter can fit one but it doesn't turn 90', only 60'! So I obviously would not buy the car as it would not suit the council. Is there an easier way to buy cars?? Could I buy a taxi from another licensing region to use it it my own?? Has anyone got a taxi to sell?? Any info would be great. Thanks Ralf |

Just wondering the best way around it, as it may be starting to dawn on me that buying a car then paying £2000 to have a swivel seat put in it may not be the way forward. But you guys can just keep bitching if you like ! |

I would be asking your council why your need one, when virtually no other council does in saloon type vehicles. And ask them, could they supply a list of vehicles that can now have them fitted. Email your councilor and ask the above , I bet there would be a lot of head scratching, when the question is asked at a council meeting, what about council in surrounding areas ,bet they don't need them . |

the regs.... Quote: Type B: Standard Accessible Hackney Carriage: Vehicles with features designed to make use by disabled people easier but which would only be able to carry a wheelchair user who can transfer to a HC seat. This will include some saloon vehicles, estate cars and MPVs with at least one new priority rotating or swivel seat fitted by an approved manufacturer/installer. All vehicles must comply with the relevant type approval for such vehicles. European Whole Vehicle Type approval; British National Type approval; or British Single Vehicle Approval. Full European Type Approval for a special purpose wheelchair accessible vehicle It is also recommended that vehicles with Euro NCAP star ratings of four or more should be considered when purchasing a new vehicle. Plate private hire, no seat reqd |
