Private hire driver called parking warden 'f****** b****' in front of shocked passengers https://www.eveningtimes.co.uk/news/172 ... assengers/ A PRIVATE hire driver who shouted verbal abuse at a female parking warden who gave him a ticket has had his licence suspended. At around 2.30pm on October 23 Gulniaz Khan was dropping off six passengers on West George Street when he was given a ticket for parking on double yellow lines. When issued with the fine he jumped out of his car and called the woman a f****** b****. The woman was wearing a body camera. Mr Khan was brought before Glasgow City Council’s licensing board yesterday to explain his actions. He said: “I was dropping off six passengers and had to pull-in at the double yellow lines. "The warden gave me a ticket and I got out of my vehicle to challenge her. “I was informed this was a bus stop but I told her I was not parking, I was just dropping off passengers. "I would like to apologise for calling her a b****. “I shouldn’t have said that and I do regret it. I have had a private hire car driver’s licence since 2007 and have never been here before.” Councillor John Kane said: “Your behaviour towards this parking attendant is totally unacceptable. "You used language which I am not going to repeat. “I am concerned about your behaviour and the way you treated this female employee.” Councillor Gary Gray added: “You have been driving since 2007. I cannot for the life of me understand why you would conduct yourself in this manner.” Mr Khan said: “The lady was not doing her job properly.” Mr Gray asked: “How do you know this?” Mr Khan responded: “There is no parking there for taxi drivers. She didn’t put the ticket in a plastic bag. "That is what annoyed me at the time.” The committee decided to suspend Mr Khan’s licence for one week. |

Clearly the fella needs to control his mouth. However the parking warden needs to learn a bit more about parking law. |

I'm surprised as our wardens are all well trained and if anything it's the other way round we often have a friendly chat and persuade them to let us over rank but I wonder how long he had been there if he had dropped off then decided to sit on the yellow lines and wait his next job then fair enough I very much doubt the warden would have had time to issue a ticket had he just pulled up unladed and gone |
