Unless, of course, someone in a vehicle too dangerous to be on the road, runs you over and puts you in a wheelchair for the rest of your life. You'll wish the police had stopped that vehicle and had it seized. Too late then, though. The "man power" consisted of police officers and Ministry of Transport inspectors. There are just enough police officers to make sure anyone who does a runner is nicked and everyone else is processed quickly.

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

I got pulled into an area like that by the police, as I pulled into the coned area, I stopped and asked the policeman what it was for. Policeman told me it was a brief check and to gather information on peoples travel on that road as part of a census. 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. No doubt they can stop you and hold you to check the vehicles tyres etc but don't make it too easy for them or we end up like Nazi Germany. If police want to check the operational parts of my vehicle, they can do it themself, as long as they have the rights to do so. I wont give them permission and I wont be helping them to find anything.

@@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.

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

Not a car - it's a taxi, being pulled over on behalf of Transport for London, to check vehicle and driver licensing. They are only allowed to check stationary vehicles: so the police order the taxi to stop, and then TfL can legally carry out the check. Big issues in London with fake taxi drivers: one guy gets a licence and recruits two or three mates to run a shift pattern, changing drivers, but all using the same licence.

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.
