Cardiff Council has successfully prosecuted a Cardiff Private Hire Taxi driver for plying for hire without a license and driving without insurance.

The prosecution was the result of a complaint upheld by a member of the public on 27 January 2008, and was investigated by Cardiff Council’s Licensing Section.

Burhan Karatas, 38 from Penarth, was found guilty of the two offences at Cardiff Magistrates Court on 27 October.

He was fined £100 for plying for hire, and £250 and an additional six penalty points for the no insurance charge.

Cardiff Council was awarded £350 prosecution costs.

Councillor Ed Bridges, Chair of Cardiff’s Licensing Committee said: ’’All licensed taxi drivers are bound within a set of rules which protect the public’s interest and regulate the taxi trade. It is an offence for a working Private Hire taxi driver to accept fares for hire without having the license to do so.’‘
