Taxi drivers from Honeybourne and Southam have licences revoked for speeding
TWO taxi drivers operating in Stratford district have had their licences revoked for speeding.
A 58-year-old from Southam failed to notify Stratford District Council of speeding convictions within the required time period.
Over a 10-month period, he had been convicted of three separate driving offences. They were all for exceeding the statutory speed limit on a public road and received nine points on his driving licence.
The driver also informed SDC of another speeding offence pending a hearing at Warwickshire Magistrate’s Court in September.
The second driver was a 75-year-old from Honeybourne. He was previously suspended for a 12 weeks in October 2023 for failing to inform the local authority of speeding offences. He has now been convicted of another offence, an SP50, which is also pending a hearing at Warwickshire Magistrate’s Court in August.
The Licensing Panel found the drivers were no longer considered to be fit and proper to hold a Dual Driver (Hackney Carriage and Private Hire) licence. The decision was made to revoke both licences.
