REGARDING Eric Leaver's remarks (LET, October 10), concerning the "apparent" widespread use of forged/altered licences for taxi drivers, individual private hire firms should be legally responsible for checking their drivers' licences before they begin their shift.
Hackney operators can quite legitimately be asked to show their licence to any paying customer.
The rules are there. Have the powers that be the will to enforce them?
