Cabbie stripped of taxi because he has no driving licence A CABBIE has been stripped of his taxi licence – because he does not have a driving licence. Stoke-on-Trent City Council revoked the taxi licence after the driver was hauled before a disciplinary hearing. He was one of two drivers to have their licences revoked at a private meting. Councillor Joy Garner, chairman of the council's licensing and registration panel, said: "The licence holder was not a fit and proper person based on their motoring convictions and the fact they do not hold a driving licence." The other revocation was imposed after allegations the driver had committed a crime involving a young passenger. Two other drivers had their licences suspended until they re-passed the knowledge test and the taxi driver-specific driving test. On one of the cases, Mrs Garner said: "The licence holder admitted they did not understand the law relating to plying for hire. "We felt the driver needed to be brought up to date with rules and regulations." A further driver was given a strict warning following an unspecified complaint. |

FFS, makes you wonder why they bother licensing if they can't even get them up to speed on that. Quote: "We felt the driver needed to be brought up to date with rules and regulations."
Usual councillor creating a total mess and then making out they're riding to the rescue ](./images/smilies/eusa_wall.gif "Brick wall")

not if the driver hid the fact it is your responsiblity as a driver to inform the council of any changes to your licence e.g. points added if the driver didn't tell them how would they know ? |

It didn't say he had recently had his drivers license revoked, but, I suppose that could be the situation. I read it that he never had one period |
