So anyone that has been abroad in the last 3 years can't get a badge in case they committed a crime on their holidays?

Are you really that thick? ](*,)


Nope..... Are you?

I'm saying that unless a prospective driver can show x amounts of years of history, then they don't get a license until they can.

And you are going on about holidays. #-o

my mate had just had his application for a badge refused( so far) due to some dodgy dealings in the past, so is awaiting a final decision ( tomorrow) it is one of 3 scenarios
1) - point blank refusal
2)- gets badge with warning that it will be revoked immediately if there is a complaint
3)- gets told to re apply in 6/12 months or whatever

anyway that's all fine, but he works a control desk jockey and has for about 3 years, he is now taking the discrimination route , as he rents cars out ( perk of being in a chit office & is allowed to have 2 or 3, cant remember , cars on rent free as hes on a chit wage), now one of the lads he rents a car to is asian said he never had a police check as they couldn't check his status from Pakistan, so never had one, surely this cant be true ????


Why does he need a badge if works in the office?

Perhaps he now wants to drive.
