I don't have the full details but I am told that a driver here had his license suspended for overcharging customers, hitting another driver and threatening another one.
Yesterday I am told he had his license revoked because he continued to work whilst suspended. He was seen leaving the Council offices and he did not look happy.

The guy should look for a job in a Butchers shop seeing as he's thick as mince.

Stupid indeed.

I suspect he is the kind of driver that believes rules are for others to adhere to, not him.

Good luck with the job hunting.

The driver's revocation has been confirmed at a licensing sub committee hearing last week. I have been told that he has now gone back to live in his native country, Turkey.

Nah he'll most likely get involved in shipping illegal migrants. :sad: apparently that is now the most profitable line of work in the world
