I asked him if it was compulsory and he said it wasn't but would only take 5 minutes. I asked him to move a cone so I could be on my way as I didn't wish to participate. He paused for a couple of seconds and then went to move a cone to let me out. I can only imagine the look on peoples faces as they saw me leave via the secret escape route.

@@LordDeFi Nah complain when on a roadside check something like 10 out of 16 vehicles will fail, and some of those fails will not be minor ones but major like worn brakes, bald tyres or even bodywork damage. The truth is that people who run unsafe and dangerous vehicles should not be doing taxi work full stop, they give the trade a bad name and that contributes to the low opinion of taxi drivers in general plus deferred maintenance is self defeating because when a test is due you have to put that all right to get a pass. That means you spend more money than properely servicing your vehicle during the intervals between the test periods, totally stupid and also very dangerous because if you have say an oil leak that can change, worsen and then render the vehicle little more than scrap metal.

This was a private hire vehicle that was stopped, they are subject to more stringent regulations and their licensing laws fall under Transport for London (TfL) regulations, so in instances like this, where they are clearly carrying out a stop check operation, the drivers do indeed have to be able to prove they are legitimate regarding their license and insurance by law, and this includes checks to their vehicle. If this was a private vehicle that was stopped at random, then TfL wouldn’t have anything to do with them and all the police could request is to see a driving license and potentially search the vehicle if there’s any cause for reasonable suspicion, which is the police’s main purpose regarding this random stop check operations, to catch and deter criminals

Really, how sad you are when the object of that exercise was to check if the private hire vehicles being driven were being used in accordance with their TfL issued (PCO) licence's. That is for a drivers DVSA issued licence, to see if they are carrying their PCO badges on them so they can be identified, if they have the correct insurance, the correct work status to hold a PCO issued licence and if they have maintained their own personal booking records. The vehicle can also be checked for minor faults such as damaged light clusters, non working bulbs, worn tyres and obvious bodywork damage that is contrary to the vehicle's licence requiring such faults to be fixed. Obviously you think that the PCO do this to exort money when the failings if remedied within a small time frame can be sorted out easily, and without a financial penalty, the only time money is involved is if the vehicle is issued with a notice taking it of the road wef that point for a fault that requires immediate attention. The reality is that such checks are done to keep the trade on it's toes in maintaining it's vehicles correctly and to the terms of the vehicles licence, that re assures the public that the PCO is on top of the trade and that public safety is of the upmost importance through a policy of keeping unsafe Taxi's and PHV's off the roads

@@gasmanrus Exactly, I think cabbies get them 6 monthly, but still faults can occur in between and usually if it’s minor you get written up with a ‘notice to repair’ type of thing, and then you get fined if you fail to fix it.

The ones stopping Hope all there immigration papers are ok

Many years ago in Oxford I was stopped on my triumph motorcycle . First they said it was stolen . They kept me detained for ages. They didn't want to listen to what I wanted to say. Eventually I was asked for my drivers licence. Then I produced My log book AND RECEIPT OF SALE. it turns out my bike registration was used on a stolen Ford Escort. They let me go I didn't even get an apology for detaining me or for being abrupt and rude.. is it assumed bikers are thieves.

Seems fair. Polite.

Is the meter kept running while all these checks are being done!? No way would I pay to just sit there while the vehicle gets checked over.

MOT pit stop

There set up on the cycle lane. Sure that's illegal.

Now go and inspect the fucking potholes

Is this legal ??

They don't look like police to me

Well according to the conditions of taxi/phv licences, the licencing authority has the right to check your vehicle. That's what you see here. Don't want to comply? They revoke your licence and you're left without a job.

@@imrightyourewrong6274 I'd not be surprised if that part was even being automated and would only get brought up if the system flashed up something off. Many traffic police already have systems that use ANPR cameras to automatically query the registration and insurance status of the vehicle. Could have easily have had that sort of equipment installed in the police vehicle parked in the rear to handle checks like that.
