All landau drivers are issued with an identification badge with a photograph of the driver upon it. Drivers are licensed for the safety and protection of the animals under their control and the public. It is advisable to check that a driver has such a badge before getting into a vehicle.
In order to qualify as a landau driver, the applicant must:
- Have no relevant criminal convictions or have been determined by the Council's public protection committee to be a fit and proper person;
- Provide a letter from a veterinary surgeon stating that they are qualified to operate a landau horse and carriage;
- Undertake a physical driving test by the Council's examiner and meet the required standard by producing an official pass certificate to the licensing service.
Drivers must renew their licence every year. |
