The Licensing Sub-Committee are requested to consider the appeal against the issuing of penalty points and should the appeal be dismissed, to consider the continuance of the driver’s Hackney Carriage Driver Licence and determine what action should be taken.
Minutes:
Discussion:
The Sub-Committee considered an appeal from Mr M against penalty points issued and a review of his Hackney Carriage Driver Licence.
Decision:
After careful consideration of the written evidence and oral representations made at the meeting, the Sub-Committee reduced the penalty points awarded from 12 points to 6 points. However, as the driver already had 6 existing penalty points on his Hackney Carriage Licence for a previous motoring offence, the imposition of a further 6 points meant that the threshold of 12 points had been reached, such that the sub-committee determined to revoke his Hackney Carriage Licence.
The Sub-Committee considered that the driver’s overall actions had not met the high driving standards necessary set by Medway Council to continue as a licensed Hackney Carriage driver.
