Report of an accident causing damage to a hackney carriage or private hire vehicle
Section 50(3) Local Government (Miscellaneous Provisions) Act 1976
If a licensed vehicle has been involved in an accident, the proprietor must report this to the Licensing Authority within 72 hours. It is a legal requirement that the proprietor (owner) of the vehicle submits this form, not the driver, however the proprietor will require information from the driver of the vehicle at the time in order to complete details of the accident.
Please note: If you knowingly or recklessly make any false statement or omit any material information on this form, you may be prosecuted for an offence and your licence may be revoked. Please also note this report does not remove the responsibility of the driver to report an accident to the Police as required by the Road Traffic Act 1988, nor the requirement for any licence holder to notify the Council of any criminal proceedings arising out of the accident.
This form usually takes about 10 minutes to complete. Please note that after 60 minutes of inactivity the form will time out and any information you have entered will be lost.
