A bit more detail here wouldn't go amiss. Assuming the revocations were because of too many DVLA points on their licences, which doesn't mean a driving ban, but does mean badge lost under Wakefield's licensing regime.
Could possibly be Wakefield's own points-system though, but not entirely clear.
Wakefield taxi drivers lose licences over offenceshttps://www.wakefieldexpress.co.uk/news ... -1-9707101Three Wakefield cabbies have lost their licence over driving offences.The trio, all of whom were private hire drivers, accumulated too many points on their licences, putting them in breach of Wakefield Council's convictions policy.
The council's licensing committee was told that each driver had appealed the council's decision to strip each of them of their right to operate, but Leeds Magistrates Court backed the local authority over the issue.
One of them has appealed the Magistrates' ruling, and his case will now go to a crown court.
Speaking at a meeting on Wednesday afternoon, committee chair Martyn Johnson welcomed the lower court's verdict.
He said: "It's good news for the public in Wakefield. We want good drivers, and public safety is paramount.
"Drivers who breach our standards will not have a licence in this city."
