I'd guess the insurance thing is the biggie here rather than the speeding thing.
But not really sure I fully understand the insurance thing, and don't think it's adequately explained here...

Glasgow private hire driver gets warning after speeding and driving without insurance

The man was allowed to keep his private hire car driver's licence for a restricted period of one year despite an objection from Police Scotland.
A private hire driver has been issued a severe warning after he amassed 10 points on his licence for driving too fast and without insurance.
Glasgow’s licensing committee heard how James Young had been caught speeding and driving without insurance, after Police Scotland objected to his renewal application.
Councillors decided to grant a private hire car driver’s licence for a restricted period of one year, rather than three, and issued the warning over his future conduct.
An officer from Police Scotland said the force did not believe Mr Young was a “fit and proper person” to hold a licence due to his convictions.
She said he had received seven points and was fined £400 after he was convicted in October 2022 of driving without insurance.
Councillors also heard he has a speeding conviction from March 2021, when he received three points. These expire in April this year.
Councillor Alex Wilson, SNP, who chairs the licensing committee, said: “You’re saying your licence is precious to you. How come you have allowed yourself to get within losing your licence?
“If you get any more points you would lose your actual driver’s licence.”
Mr Young, who said he had been a private hire car driver for 15 years, said he had a black box fitted in his car, which “wasn’t sending data” to his insurance company.
He said he hadn’t been aware of the issue as the company had sent an email but he didn’t “deal with emails.” The driver added his sister had received the email.
Mr Young said: “Unbeknown to me, for five weeks I was driving about, the police stopped me and told me, I gave them the documents, I showed them the black box.”
He said, following the incident, he now receives his own emails, adding: “Unfortunately me not dealing with emails has come back to haunt me.”
Councillor Wilson said: “If you are lucky enough for us to decide to keep your licence, how are you going to manage?”
The driver, who said he would have appealed the conviction over driving without insurance but he “didn’t have the finances to do it”vowed he would follow the “rules and regulations of the road.”
