ILLEGALLY PLYING FOR HIRE OFFENCE (TAXI TOUTING) MANCHESTER
Illegally plying for hire is also known as taxi touting. Any form of taxi or private hire vehicle must be licensed in order to be able to carry passengers. They will be committing an offence if they are found to be unlicensed and:
- Displaying the word taxi, cab or for hire anywhere on their vehicle
- Soliciting people in a public place to hire their vehicle or transport them as a passenger
Private hire vehicles that are registered are not allowed to collect any fee-paying passengers from the street unless they are displaying a private hire sign and have been booked through a licensed operator prior to taking the journey. However black cabs (Hackney carriages) are allowed to collect passengers from a public place without prior booking.
If you are found guilty of plying for hire, illegally, or taxi touting you could face a fine of up to £2500. You may also face prosecution as touting will invalidate your motor insurance. Driving without insurance carries a penalty of between 6 and 8 points on your licence, and if the court deems appropriate a driving ban.
Taxi drivers who are convicted of a plying for hire taxi offence can expect their Council Licencing authority to review if they remain a fit and proper person to hold a taxi license.

I approached Brian due to totting up points on my licence. Three more points could have resulted in me being disqualified from driving and as a Courier this would have cost me my Livelihood.Brian... decided that the best route to take would be to enter a plea of exceptional hardship. He explained everything clearly and guided me through the process whilst reducing the considerable stress I was under.His efforts secured me the best possible outcome. Not only did I keep my licence, I also received the lowest possible fine.I can't recommend Brian highly enough and would urge anyone in similar circumstances to contact Brian Koffman & Co Solicitors without hesitation.Thank you Brian.read more

I have just contacted Brian to get some advice regarding a motoring offence - as the website indicates they pride themselves on these cases.It was my first experience of having a penalty of this... nature and was looking to instruct a solicitor to gain some advice on the best steps.He was incredibly blunt and rude. He compared my enquiry to the likes of a doctor seeing a patient with no knowledge of the symptoms? Despite me being on the phone to answer any questions regarding the offence in question.Completely bizarre and rude, with him then hanging up on me.read more

I cannot thank Brian enough for the amount of commitment he put in to my case! He was able to explain the court process in simple terms, and I felt at ease knowing that someone so highly professional... was dealing with my case.

I have recently had the pleasure of dealing with Brian regarding a motoring offence for a close friend of mine. Brian has been amazing throughout the whole process with regular and clear... communication. Brian is professional and extremely knowledgeable in his field of expertise. Furthermore, and more importantly, Brian managed to get my friend the best possible outcome that we just didn’t think was possible. Hopefully, I never have to use Brian personally, however if I do commit a motoring offence, he will definitely be the man I call. I have already referred a family member of mine to Brian as I know he will be taken care of.Brian, thank you once again for all your hard work which in turn gave us the best possible outcome.read more
