The driver was 'shaking' after being stopped by police
A private hire driver who continued to pick up passengers despite being suspended has been handed a four-week ban.
Councillor Alex Wilson, who chairs the committee, said the driver had been “putting the public at risk” as once he was suspended his insurance was invalid. Mr Shoukat was pulled over during a joint initiative between the council’s taxi and private hire enforcement unit and Police Scotland, after he was seen on St Vincent Street with “no rear signage displayed.”
However, later that night Police Scotland witnessed Mr Shoukat carrying passengers while suspended, the committee heard. Councillors were told the driver had taken two jobs since the suspension was issued.He added: “You weren’t displaying proper signage which alerted our enforcement team to your activity, they also found your vehicle wasn’t very clean."
