Can a PDVL be revoked, and under what circumstance?

A Private Hire Car Driver’s Vocational Licence (PDVL) can indeed be revoked, and this typically happens due to breaches of traffic laws or misconduct. The licensing authority mandates that drivers adhere to certain standards of behavior and compliance with all relevant regulations. Breaches could include serious traffic violations, engaging in unsafe driving practices, or any behavior deemed inappropriate or unprofessional while serving as a driver. Such actions could compromise the safety and well-being of passengers, making the revocation of the license a necessary measure to maintain public safety and trust in the transport system.

Other situations, such as changing jobs or minor infractions, generally do not warrant the revocation of a PDVL. The revocation process responds specifically to violations or conduct that fail to meet the expected standards for drivers. This structured approach helps ensure that only qualified and responsible drivers hold a PDVL, directly impacting the safety of the passengers they transport.
