    (a) drive or permit other person to drive a LGV for carriage of passengers for hire or reward;
    (b) solicit or attempt to solicit any person for hire or reward to travel in a LGV.
    Any person who contravenes the ordinance is liable to a fine of $5,000 and 3 months' imprisonment on a first conviction, and to a fine of $10,000 and 6 months’ imprisonment on a subsequent conviction.
