That doesn't apply to private hire vehicle drivers afaik.
- dpoloncsak 25d agoOr Uber drivers in London
- celsoazevedo 25d ago(In case you're not aware) It's the same thing. Uber operates in London as private hire operator, so their drivers are mini cab drivers. Same rules (now: basic English and rules test, yearly car inspections, MOT every 6 months, cars must have TFL badges, etc).
- IAmBroom 25d ago... who are obviously not taxi drivers, so ... your point?
- nephihaha 25d agoPrivate hire is technically not a taxi. They can't pick someone up at a rank or on the street.
