§ 86-1. Annual registration of all persons driving a vehicle for hire.

(a)

It shall be unlawful for any person to drive a motor vehicle for hire in the county until he has registered with the county and such registration has been approved by the police chief. Every driver must successfully complete the registration annually. No such registration shall be granted if, in the sole discretion of the police chief, such applicant may reasonably be considered a danger to the traveling public based on past behavior or conduct or because of a lack of qualifications. Any approved registration may be revoked for any cause which would have been grounds for an initial refusal to approve a registration application.

(b)

The registration application shall be in a form approved by the police chief and every applicant shall pay a $10.00 fee for every initial application and each renewal.

(c)

Any person aggrieved by a decision of the police chief to deny or revoke a registration may meet with the police chief or his designee within ten days of such revocation to present evidence as to why such application should not have been denied or revoked.

(d)

Every person registered to drive a vehicle for hire shall also obtain a license from the commissioner of the revenue as provided for in Code of Virginia, § 46.2-2063 et seq., as amended.
