Well, that's the way it's arranged currently, apparently. But if a
taxi driver gets hailed by people who want to go to Hull, presumably
he has the option to refuse them, if only because it would take him
over the n hours per day driving limit. If so, a shortage of
available driving hours can apply equally to the car or the driver;
it doesn't make much difference.

Currently there is no limit on taxi drivers hours although there have
been occasional calls to introduce such a limit.
