A cab driver's accused of transporting cocaine worth £1m and faces 15 years inside. And a complex case of alleged carjacking at knifepoint.

Don't think this is news, so posted it here. I've not watched it yet.

It's worth a looky. The said PHC driver agreed to deliver a package, which turned out to be a bag containing £1M of cocaine. The bag was found by police in the boot of his car with him at the wheel. His defence was ignorance/naivety and the barrister didn't rate his chances. I won't post a spoiler.

The Scotchland SVQ covers carrying or delivering random packages of unknown contents - 'don't do it' pretty much covers it.

Eventually got around to watching this.

Not going to plot spoil, but this could have gone either way.

Agree - the way he accepted the hire was very unwise IMO. How exactly the bag got into his car might have actually helped however.
