Taxi Driver Online

I think i know the answer but I Will ask it.

A lad got arrested the other night at one of the twon center ranks. He layed out an idiot that ran over his E7. Yes thats right an E blinking 7

the bloke was flat out and blood evereywhere and the driver spent 15 hours in the nick.

My question is that he could lose his license. but if he trys to sells his plate, even though he got it for nothing a year ago, would the council be able to stop it before any conviction?

P.S I dont like him.

The answer to that is no they can't stop him. If he wishes to retain the license and he thinks there may be severe repercussions he might wish to transfer his license to his wife or relative until such time the issue is resolved.

Could they not suspend the license?

They could try and suspend his hackney carriage driving license if and when he goes before the committee, which would be subject to appeal in any case. There is nothing in law as far as I know to stop him transfering his proprietors licence even if that was suspended. However they could only suspend his vehicle licence under certain circumstances the main one being of course vehicle safety. The revocation and suspension of a license is set out quite clearly in section 60 of the MPA.

Section 60 - Suspension and revocation of vehicle licences

(1) Notwithstanding anything in the Act of 1847 or in this part of the Act, a district council may suspend or revoke, or (on application thereof under section 40 of the Act of 1847 or section 48 of this Act, as the case may be) refuse to renew a vehicle licence on any of the following grounds -
a) that the hackney carriage or private hire vehicle is unfit for use as a hackney carriage or private hire vehicle;
b) any offence under, or non-compliance with, the provisions of the Act of 1847 or of this Part of this Act by the operator or driver; or
c) any other reasonable cause.

(2) Where a district council suspend, revoke or refuse to renew any licence under this section they shall give to the proprietor of the vehicle notice of the grounds on which the licence has been suspended or revoked or on which they have refused to renew the licence within fourteen days of such suspension, revocation or refusal.

(3) Any proprietor aggrieved by a decision of a district council under this section may appeal to a magistrates' court.

The main point that would come into play was the referrence to any other reasonable cause. However, here is the salient point. You are fully aware of the Wirral case where the complainants tried to plead relief under the Human rights act, well they didn't have a case because their license wasn' t being affected in any way but in this case the scenario could well be different. I'm not saying it would but it could be a possibility.

Thnaks for that.
I think the geezer is right in it. And although i dont like him im glad he is not in my shoes. Or should that be in his or whatever?
The idiot (not the driver) run up his e7 bonnet jumped on the roof and started dancing.
By all accounts done about a grands worth of damage.
So what would you do?
He gfot out of his car and tried to stop him running away. so the idiot started to put his fists up.
The driver then punched him twice. the second knocking him out. he falls and bashes he head on the road. 10 hours it took for him to come round.
the driver spent 15 hours in the police station charged with GBH. when the other bloke came round it was reduced to ABH.
So what would you do?

ive just had a word with some of the lads that saw it.
the driver went mad and lost the plaot.
kicked the dancing lad in the head when he was spark out.
Problem for the driver is a couple of door men saw it all.
Could be in very big trouble.

Do you expect this driver to be charged sooner or later Cgull? Tell him we can recommend a Solicitor in Swansea. lol
