Banned taxi drivers still on the road The government is being urged to create a central database for taxi drivers in England and Wales. An investigation by BBC Radio 5 live found that some drivers who have had their licence revoked are continuing to work after getting a licence from another council. Danni Hewson reports. http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-39248531 |

It's about time there was a national database. |

The database would be useless without an overhaul of the licencing system |

Why don't all applications have a 'Have you ever been refused a License' section? Of course people can and do tell fibs, but once caught out a license can be stripped just on that basis. |
