The Panel considered a report to review a Dual Driver’s licence, where a conviction recorded against the Licence Holder calls in to question their fitness and propriety to be a suitable person to hold such a licence.  As such, the application was referred to the Panel for determination.

RESOLVED that, based on the information provided to the Panel, the reasons the Licence Holder has appeared before the Panel, the report written by the Officer, their recommendations, the Licence Holder and Representative’s comments and the Council's Statement of Fitness and Suitability that the Licence Holder is not a fit and proper person and accordingly his licence be REVOKED with immediate effect on the grounds of public safety as the Licence Holder was aware when agreeing to take the passengers that he had no insurance and therefore the safety of the passengers was at risk.
