The Panel considered an application to review a dual driver’s licence, where a conviction of the Driver calls into 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, having taken into account the reason the Driver had appeared before the Panel, namely their conduct in engaging in conversation of an inappropriate and sexual nature with a passenger travelling alone in their vehicle, the report written by the Officer, their recommendations, the Driver’s comments and the Council’s Statement of Fitness and Suitability, the Driver was no longer a fit and proper person and accordingly the licence be revoked with immediate effect in the interest of public safety on the grounds that the Driver’s conduct was not appropriate for a private hire vehicle driver and put passengers at risk.
NOTE: The Applicant attended the meeting and addressed the Panel.
