Ensuring that your taxi or private hire vehicle is roadworthy is essential. Taxi roadworthiness is important for both driver and passenger and ensures that all individuals travelling within the taxi are always safe. Because you are providing a public service, it is of much higher importance for taxi drivers to regularly check out their vehicle – as they cannot legally transport passengers if they do not meet specific standards. The correct maintenance of your vehicle is the best way to ensure that it meets the right standards for carrying passengers.
