8. My vehicle has been in an accident

If your vehicle has been in accident you can report this via the blue Start button below.  It is a condition of your license that:

All accidents causing damage materially affecting safety, performance or appearance of a vehicle or comfort or convenience of passengers, shall be notified in writing to the Council by the proprietor as soon as reasonably practicable and in any case within seventy-two hours (s.50(3) Local Government (Miscellaneous Provision) Act 1976)

Please note this form is for use by licensed hackney carriage and private hire vehicle proprietors only to tell us about damage to their licensed vehicle. If you have been involved in an accident in an East Devon licensed vehicle when travelling as a passenger and want to report this to us, you can use our online form to report concerns about taxis in East Devon.
