I don't know what you mean by 'presumably'.
It's a cab hire firm with hundreds of cabs. The hire agreement is clear he's responsible for PCNs, but with so many cabs they just whatsapp a photo of the first page of the PCN to the driver and tell them to pay it, which they usually do - it's an occupational hazard in London.
It's vanishingly unlikely they will inform the council they aren't responsible and give the driver's details unless the driver asks them to, and even then it's not certain they will.
Just wondering what to do - it's seems massively unfair to have to pay £65 for entering a P&C zone 16 seconds early, but on the other hand it might not be worth the aggro.
