Vehicle Licence, Discs and Exemptions
Check PHV licence evidence and understand when missing or damaged discs prevent work unless TfL has granted a relevant exemption.
Prepare from handbook duty to safe decision
Start with the current TfL instructions, learn each handbook responsibility in context and practise reading precise facts without inventing live assessment parameters.

display exemptions
Concept 4
vehicle-driver distinction
