Men claiming to be taxi drivers had no hackney carriage licences

TWO men who were acting as taxi drivers without a hackney carriage licence have been fined by magistrates.

Reyhaz Mohammed, of Walker Avenue, Bolton, was caught plying for hire on Deansgate, Manchester, on October 4 as was Khalique Shahdazi, of The Sheddings, Bolton.

They admitted committing the offence and having no insurance. Each was fined a total of £170. In addition they were both ordered to pay £200 towards prosecution costs and six penalty points were added to their licences.

Not the most in-depth article you will read, but I suspect they where PH drivers plying, or taxi drivers plying out of their area.

But either way you would imagine their licenses would be reviewed.

If Councils follow the new guidelines they will not get a license anywhere.

A big if.

In a council meeting anywhere

Licensing officer: I recommend we annul their license

Councilors: will that result in a loss of licensing revenue ?

Licensing officer:Yes

Councillors: No lets let them off with a stern warning not to do it again or we will annul
