CAB TOUT FINED £200; but how did he get a license?A 47-year-old private-hire driver received six points on his licence and was fined for touting outside a Bermondsey nightclub.
Laszlo Gazdag was caught red handed during a police operation, when he asked three female officers if they needed a cab. The cops, who told him that they were going to Sidcup, then followed him to his taxi, where they arrested the Hungarian.
The incident took place on February 25, outside Cable nightclub in Bermondsey Street at 1am.
Mr Gazdag of West Hendon Broadway, Hendon, who had a translator with him in court, pleaded guilty to touting and driving without insurance. He already had three penalty points on his licence for driving without consideration of others in January.
Gazdag, who has been a private-hire driver for four months, was fined £200 and received another six points on his license.
He was also ordered to pay £15 surcharge and £85 costs in weekly installments of £20.
The driver, who lives with his partner, received a four months’ custodial sentence in 2005 for burglary. source:
