AN unlicensed taxi driver from High Wycombe has been ordered to pay more than £2,000 by magistrates.

Zulifqar Ali, of Whitelands Road, pleaded guilty to operating nine private hire vehicles without a valid private hire operator's licence when he appeared at Wycombe Magistrates' Court on Monday.

He was fined a total of £1,800 and ordered to pay costs of £323.

The prosecution was brought by Wycombe District Council.

The council's Chairman of Regulations and Appeals, Cllr John Savage, said after sentencing: “We are pleased at the successful conviction. It demonstrates the excellent work officers do in ensuring that taxi operators do not ignore the law and are bought to justice if they do.”

Why 10 licences :? Surely you only need one operators licence

Our firm operate 300+ vehicles but they only have one operators licence. He didn't plead guilty to owning 9 vehicles and renting them out he only pleaded guilty to operating them.

For the benefit of Ms Toots; he operated 9 vehicles plus his own vehicle = 10 operator licences!!

He operated 9 and his own PH vehicles. Therefore he only needs one operators licence not 10. Perhaps they mean vehicle licences :?
