Illegal taxi drivers fined after city crackdown


Four unlicensed taxi drivers have been fined for picking up passengers.

The men were caught during a city council and police crackdown on illegal taxi drivers in the Hotel Street area of the city centre.

They were all private hire drivers who are not insured to pick up passengers, unless they have booked the taxi in advance.

The men all admitted driving, standing or plying for hire when their vehicles were not licensed as hackney carriages on May 6. They also pleaded guilty to driving without third party insurance.

Bharat Bharwad (46) of Galleywood Drive, Beaumont Leys, Leicester, was fined a total of £330 and ordered to pay £566.40 costs and a £15 victim surcharge.

He received six penalty points on his driving licence.

Nicki Agalamanye, for Leicester City Council, said he admitted the offence but said it was debatable whether the fare was pre-booked.

Tamas Etebar (31), of Yew Tree Drive, Braunstone Frith, Leicester, was fined £375, with a £15 surcharge and £264 costs.

He received seven penalty points on his licence.

He told the court the passengers just jumped in this car after he dropped off another fare.

Ahmad Fawad Faizi (29), of Severn Street, Highfields, Leicester, was fined £375, and ordered to pay £15 surcharge and £264 costs, with seven penalty points added to his licence.

Mohamed Pasha (45), of Halstead Street, Spinney Hills, Leicester was fined £240, ordered to pay £15 surcharge and £264 costs, with seven penalty points on his licence.

The golden mile is OK but the curry centre of Leicester is now London Road I believe.
