Taxi drivers face five year ban if caught using mobile phones
Taxi drivers in Sefton could lose their license for five years if convicted of driving while using a mobile phone.
Under rules introduced at Sefton Council Licensing and Regulatory Committee last night, Monday March 11, licensed taxi drivers face new and updated sanctions as the local authority approved changes to the Licensed Driver Convictions Policy.
Three new offences were added to the policy and included guidance on what sanctions licensed drivers would face if they were convicted of using a hand held device while driving, convicted of discrimination, or convicted of exploitation.
For the offences of discrimination and exploitation, any driver convicted would have their license permanently revoked and prevented from ever working as a taxi driver.
