Allowing Disabled Persons to Work as Private Hire Drivers

Hazel Poa asked whether cars registered under the Disabled Persons Scheme could be used as private hire cars to allow disabled persons to earn a living as drivers.
The Minister for Transport responded that all private hire cars require COE and ARF payments, with an exemption only for cars used by disabled persons for commuting to and from work.
The exemption does not extend to using such cars as private hire vehicles, meaning they cannot be used for earning income as PHC drivers.
