A taxi driver has been banned from the roads after driving his cab into a canal with his passengers inside.
Charles Payne, 63, had been picking up passengers from a pub following a night out.
They suffered minor injuries, as did, Payne, as the car ended up in the water.
However, instead of driving away from the pub's car park, he ended up in the nearby canal at Fradley Junction, a court has heard.
Payne appeared at North Staffordshire Justice Centre where he admitted driving without due care and attention.

The court heard that at 11.37pm on April 1, this year, Payne had been called to The Swan pub, at Fradley Junction, near Alrewas, where he picked up an unknown amount of passengers in his Peugeot taxi.
