Minutes:
The Panel considered an application to review a Dual Driver’s Licence, where information recorded against the licence holder called in to question their fitness and propriety to be a suitable person to hold such a licence.
RESOLVED that, based on the information provided to the Panel, having taken into account the reason the Driver had appeared before the Panel, namely convictions, the report written by the Officer, the Driver’s comments and the Council’s Statement of Fitness and Suitability, the Driver was not a fit and proper person and accordingly the licence be SUSPENDED with immediate effect for a period of either two months or the completion of a Driver refresher course whichever is the latest, on the grounds that the conviction related to a road traffic accident where the Driver put the public at risk and therefore the suspension will take place immediately in the interest of public safety.
NOTE: The Driver attended the meeting accompanied by a union representative from the Oldham Private Hire Taxi Association and addressed the Panel.
