Abstract of Laws for Private Hire Vehicle Drivers

The PCO has now published an Abstract of Laws for London’s licensed private hire vehicle drivers. 

The Abstract gives general guidance on private hire law and should assist drivers in knowing relevant legislation.  The Abstract is not an exhaustive or definitive statement of the laws governing PHVs and has itself no force of law.  It should be used for general guidance only and reference should be made to the text of the statues etc. quoted as appropriate.

The Abstract is being provided to all new and re-licensing PHV drivers with their licence.  The document can also be downloaded from the TfL website,
