Mini cab driver on harassment charge.

A MINI- CAB driver was accused of making sexual advances towards a female passenger and was granted bailed ahead of his trail in january.

Tower Bridge Magistrates’ court heard that Christopher Allen, 59 was a driver of one of London biggest MINI-CAB firm, Addison Lee.


Allen is charged with intending to cause harassment, alarm or distress by using threatening , abusive words or behaviour on september 13, at Camberwell Green Magistrates Court on January 21.

This is one of the main reason’s the LT&PH have included this proposal in the fourth coming consultation paper.

Driver Proposal 5:

That TfL introduces a condition in private hire drivers’ licences that ‘Drivers must not make any remark of of a sexual nature to a passenger.

Licensed PH drivers are not permitted to become involved sexually, or have sexual contact, even with consent, whilst in a licensed vehicle.’

I'm guessing that will also apply to the hackney carriage trade?

Probably, but with one Taxi driver convicted in the last twenty years compared to hundreds from the other side, I'm guessing the emphasis will be on theirs.

After all, it is a scab review, not a Taxi review.

It will be in the next taxi consultation as demanded by the police.I think they should have included talking about winning the lotttery and offering champagne.

Perhaps they'll also add in some advice about running pedestrians over deliberately and murdering them, that’s another Addison Lee driver favourite.

Oh, and rucking with GMB union officials in William Rd. :lol:
