If the car has a yellow (Hyndburn) plate then it is licensed, it might not be affiliated to a firm but it will still have had the Council MOT for road worthiness, if it hasn't and the person is working on an old license they would get the book thrown at them if they are caught but it needs vigilante people to report them to actually get caught. Private hire are to affiliate themselves to a firm but Hackney cabs don't have to.
It takes 2 seconds to walk round the back of a car, look down at the plate on the back bumper, if there isn't one there refuse to get in it, it has got to be displayed. Also they have to display yello insurance stickers (similar to firm badges) on the rear passenger doors and yellow stickers in rear passenger windows which displays a phone number if you have any concerns about the vehicle or driver.
