No leniency shown to uninsured taxi driver in court A RETIRED taxi driver with more than 40-years’ experience has been banned from driving for six months, despite pleading for leniency.
Raymond Cruddas spoiled his previously unblemished driving record when he switched his hackney taxi plates to a vehicle that was uninsured, registered or tested to required taxi standards.
Darlington Magistrates’ Court heard that Cruddas had previously held a licence for a hackney taxi vehicle, but when its engine “blew up”, he surrendered the licence and switched its taxi plates to another vehicle that was unlicensed and uninsured as a taxi.
