Private hire (who cannot ply for hire) don't need to wear a seatbelt if there are paying passengers in the vehicle.

(ii)a private hire vehicle while it is being used to carry a passenger for hire;
Oh, and as far as couriers go...
The real live actual law also said:
(b)a person using a vehicle constructed or adapted for the delivery of goods or mail to consumers or addressees, as the case may be, while engaged in making local rounds of deliveries or collections;

We're using 'asian'. However this isn't really accurate.

Great way to live I feel. All personal responsibility is chucked out of the window. Imagine the freedom!
