Taxi driver who asked friend to take FOUR speeding tickets has been denied new licence

A taxi driver from Derbyshire has been denied a new licence after being told he was 'not a fit and proper person'. Nisar Alam lost his taxi driver's licence in 2012 after being convicted of conspiracy to pervert the course of justice.

Southern Derbyshire Magistrates' Court heard how Mr Alam had asked a friend to take four speeding tickets he had received in the space of three months, a court heard.

At the time when he lost his taxi driver's licence, he was also handed a two-year driving ban, as well as three months' imprisonment and had to wear a police tag for nine months.

He reapplied for his licence last year, Mr Alam but this was turned down by the council, with Mr Alam appealing to the magistrates court over the council's refusal.

Southern Derbyshire Magistrates' Court backed Erewash Borough Council's decision to refuse to grant him a taxi driver's licence on the grounds that he "was not a fit and proper person to hold a licence".

Mr Alam, of Clarence Road, Derby, had had his application rejected by the council's drivers' licensing panel in September last year and his appeal against the decision was heard at court on January 5.

District Judge Jonathan Taaffe heard submissions from the council's solicitor and Mr Alam's legal representative and ruled in favour of the council.

According to Erewash Borough Council, Mr Alam's conviction was taken into consideration when deciding on his reapplication, along with historic driving convictions and a caution for affray which were not disclosed when the driver previously held a licence in 2011.
