:shock:

Unusual case obviously, because normally cases about such stuff in 'taxis' is about non-consensual sexual activity.

But worth underlining here that there's no suggestion that whatever did happen (or didn't happen) was anything other than consensual behaviour between two adults.

But if it did happen as alleged, revocation seems a bit, er, stiff to me :oops:


Banned Lincoln taxi driver denies alleged 'lewd behaviour' - because he's impotent

https://www.lincolnshirelive.co.uk/news ... es-7349938

The council has revoked his licence

A taxi driver is challenging a decision to revoke his private hire licence over an allegation that someone gave him oral sex in his car - because he is impotent, a court heard. Daniel Boulton, 54, has not been able to work since the City of Lincoln Council withdrew his permit on April 6 this year.

Direct Cars driver Mr Boulton, of Sleaford Road, Branston, took his appeal to Boston Magistrates' Court on July 18 where a date was fixed for a contested appeal hearing at Lincoln Magistrates' Court later this year.

His solicitor Matthew Tye said: "There was allegedly some lewd behaviour witnessed by staff at the YMCA in his taxi. There is factual denial that that behaviour happened.

"There's an allegation that someone was performing oral sex on him in the car. He's been impotent for a number of years and cannot get an erection."

A private hire vehicle is one that can carry up to eight passengers. They must be pre-booked via a licensed operator and cannot use taxi ranks or be flagged down in the street.

Becky Scott, legal services manager at the City of Lincoln Council, said: “There is an appeal listed for November 10, 2022 and the council can provide no further comment at this stage.”

Why was this going on his PH vehicle and not at home IF it occurred or was there possibly some kerb crawling activity taking place hence non availability of the prime witness ? :-k

Jimbo can you shed any light on this ?

Jimbo? I actually wondered if it could be Jimbo moonlighting as a PHD :badgrin:

I'm sure Jimbo isn't impotent, though, so it definitely can't be him :-o
