Plying for Hire definition
Plying for Hire means either standing at a duly authorised rank in a street, railway station or on railway premises, on private property or driving within the Borough, exhibiting to the public that the vehicle is available for hire. Only licensed Hackney Carriages may “ply for hire”.
Plying for Hire means being on view and inviting the public to use the vehicle (Rose v Welbeck Motors Limited, 1962). This can be inferred by the appearance of the vehicle, and the place it is on view and its conduct. Therefore, private hire vehicles must not wait near taxi ranks, without reasonable cause, as to do so may be construed as acting as a hackney carriage vehicle and plying for hire. Furthermore, any gathering of more than 2 private hire vehicles could be perceived as forming a rank and lead to prosecution for plying for hire. The practice of passengers booking fares with the driver who relays the booking information to the operator over the vehicle’s radio constitutes plying for hire. The driver must not act as the “go-between” under any circumstances.
Plying for Hire means the letting out of a vessel on hire for any period, or on charter as defined in the appropriate MCA Code of Practice for small commercial craft;
