Dad used to run a taxi firm in Cheshire and used to run into all sorts of issues because the cars showed no valid MOT's. I dont know why, the council don't register the car as MOT'd with the DVLA every time it has its taxi mot (called pass off where im from). would solve so many issues.

As a taxi driver (private hire) within Worcestershire, where we then have 5 districts governed (Worcester, Wychavon, Wyre Forest, Redditch… and Wolverhampton? Yes). Each has separate rules for a lot of things but also MOTs, and presents a massive problem for vehicle size/rules/quality which leads to cross bordering where the standard is lower, and they can work legally, although, in some cases it might be against their actual insurance policy but hey ho… but most of that is besides the point as I’m commenting in regards your MOT policy rant. Trucks (and buses?) have MOTs which are the most restrictive, and they still upload to the database as a valid MOT. Taxis and private hire vehicles are among the highest mileage vehicles on the road, and yet subject to only a yearly MOT in many areas (we have 1 MOT and Worcester requires a “check” at their approved garages after 6 months of that MOT renewal). The DVSA/DVLA should be classifying these vehicles as commercial and requiring 6 monthly MOT tests on every vehicle registered as a taxi/PHV and it should be noted on the DLVA database too that is what the vehicle was used for. But that being said, the council authority that does those Taxi MOTs should be authorised to upload to the database. Then this wouldn’t happen. An MOT is an MOT, as long as it’s valid it should be accepted. Perhaps get the PHV driver to complain about this to the authority/licensing as well, so this never happens again?

Hi Ashley, you asked on the post today for content that we might find of interest for 2025, i passed my test years ago in ten lessons, 1978, i took to driving like a duck to water, but i didn't feel in myself that i was ready, so i took it upon myself to do the IAM course, personally i think this may have been a confidence issue, anyway i did the course and passed, and i felt so much more confident with it under my belt, do you feel it might be a good idea to revisited some of your pupils after a while, to see what bad habits they may have picked up, not as a slagging video but someone in the same position as i found myself years ago, that wants to improve their driving skills, and another thing I've been thinking of, i think some drivers i met on either IAM or even Rospa courses, think they're a grade above, but i just think they're just a bit arrogant after passing, not all, just a few, could you maybe test or even show there're driving skills, or even match against a driving instructor course, the course i took years ago with the IAM gave me the chance to do my dream job, i became a chauffeur and have been since i was 21, safe driving, i love the channel into my 4th years now, keep the good work up, james

You ask if there would be something we'd like to see you do in the next 12 months. My answer (from Italy): ok for the Nurburgring (I suppose, as a «How to drive like a driving instructor» series video). But, why don't you come to Italy and have a drive, say, on the Tangenziale Ovest (Milano), or the Grande Raccordo Anulare (Roma)? Again, as a «How to drive like a driving instructor» video, with that mindset, and see what happens... 🤔 As usual, my warmest congratulations for your videos and the channel. Despite the fact that I've been driving since 1982, and I have a driving licence since 1985, I've learnt so much from studying and applying your "driving philosophy", that often, when I'm behind the wheel of a car, I have the impression that «Ashley is on the passenger's seat, and he's nodding...» 😂😂

The instructor is protecting their pass rate to reduce the likelihood of a standards check.

If the car is required to have a valid MOT, presumably that excludes MOT-exempt cars - i.e. those more than 40 years old. Which seems a bit weird. After all, it is clearly stated that the MOT does not provide any sort of guarantee that the car is roadworthy, that's still on the owner at all times.

I'm sure that had your candidate known of the decision made a week before, he would have arranged a different vehicle for the test. This is a terrible decision by the tester and the lack of clear communication is abysmal.

Some jobsworth put that rule in place. (The DVSA thing.) I believe there's a shortage of driving instructors at the minute? Things like this, which are clearly totally unnecessary, aren't gonna help. I've toyed on and off with the idea of switching careers to be a driving instructor; I even spoke to a course provider one time in the past when I was between jobs and the person who spoke to me thought I would be good at it. I'm so pleased Ashley that you're telling it how it is. It's not that I would be affected by that ruling; I've never driven for hire which has its own set of rules and is something I wouldn't want to be involved with, but if they are going to make decisions like that, I think I can find something less stressful to do instead.

Hmmm, Taxi inhouse MoT's being more thorough than typical MoT's? Nah. Its so open to abuse that its honestly unbelievable it's been said. If the MoT is valid and up to date, the DVLA should be made aware of it, and the issue of taxi MoT's being different to regular MoT's wouldn't exist. Once looked up a taxi MoT and the DVLA claimed it hadn't had one for about 3-4 years. Think about it, its a taxi! It should be triggering ANPR cameras (static & car based) constantly, and a small forest of letters should be going to the owner asking if its got an MoT. Fair enough if your pupil has an up to date taxi MoT, but my trust of them being current, up to date, or even valid, is extremely low. To me, if its not showing an MoT on the DVLA system, then they should be asking 'have you got proof of this?'

You do realise that taxi MOT aren't done in house, the are done by approved testing stations, not all garages that do standard MOT are approved to do Taxis

This business with the Taxi is petty and small minded, Taxi MOT's are way fussier than standard car ones. If this has become a thing, You should have been informed in case this situation arose and then there would have been time to make alternate arrangements on the day. I hope he doesn't have to start again, because that sounds like money lost.
