A taxi driver was banned from the roads after carrying out 382 trips without insurance.

Father-of-one Darren Hickling did the work although his cabbie's licence had been suspended by Gedling Borough Council, a court heard.
When told he could not drive for six months, he told Nottingham magistrates: "I have got a problem. I did an airport run and came straight to court.
"The car is in the car park. I have not got someone to fetch it."
Presiding magistrate Deborah White told him: "You will have to find someone to help you with that.
"You need to understand very clearly if you were to drive on a public road, you would commit an offence of driving while disqualified and that is an imprisonable offence.
"Please don't drive," added Ms White, who sat with two colleagues. Hickling was fined £600 and must pay the £550 council costs and a £60 government surcharge.
He admitted four counts of driving without insurance on December 31, January 5, 8 and 25. Hickling also pleaded guilty to using a hackney carriage without a licence between December 30 and January 26.
