The thing is that from what I can make out of what you're saying is that we're in (near) total agreement on this matter. If someone's not bothered about the law, then the law isn't going to bother them. Even as things stand, it may be illegal, but it doesn't stop anyone. As I said, it's not the vehicle, but the driver. It won't affect those who keep within the law one way or the other. Yes, it is down to greed - as is the case with most crime.
Personally I'm of the opinion that all cabs should be liveried & fleet owned by the individual company - but that's just my opinion.
