It was 30, it's now 40. One of my driving instructing colleagues/competitors told me that it's the signs that matter as far as the law is concerned. They must comply with regulations i.e. if you see one that's not circular with black characters on a white background with a red surround it's not mandatory and for a change of limit the signs must be on both sides of the road to have legal affect. I've not studied the regulatory framework in such detail myself but he seemed to know what he was talking about so I've no reason to doubt him.
If it doesn't have a roof sign and door stickers it's not a taxi.

This was issued as press release May 2023. I keep a copy in the car in case reality needs to be explained to a 17yr old on day release from Templemore.

Any wonder why Uber is not going to be allowed outside of the licenced vehicle arena? Also, why does Jane Moore look so surprised? 8)

Free Now is allowed to supply unlicensed EVs up above in Dublin, SB... so it's hard to see why Uber couldn't if it wanted to... or is it not greasing the right palms?

Again, proves you can read so consciously chose to ignore relevant signage I guess.

Some prick of a Garda signalled for me to stop while I was turning onto Frederick Street North from the N1(road to Drumcondra). Absolute shite talking about roof signs and branding, kept telling him my car is PSV, and road is for PSVs. Wouldn't fucking listen to me. In the end, he's alright no problem, be on your way. Tosser.

Agreed.  But they can get specific when they want to...  E.g., Top of North Frederick Street - "PSV" and not just "Buses" unlike College Green busgate.  BTW, I'm not trying to be argumentative, just curious/confused.


All you need is a cop in a bad humour, or a zealous chief super.
