'What lessons did you learn when we gave you a warning the first time? None really.'
A private hire driver caught speeding after he had already been warned for driving too fast has been allowed to keep his licence.
Mr Awan was fined £200 and given points on his licence in March 2019 after he was caught driving at 40mph in a 30mph area of Rutherglen in 2018. “You’re back before us for a renewal of your licence with a road traffic conviction. What lessons did you learn when we gave you a warning the first time? None really, you still went back out and got done for speeding again.
Bailie Jim Kavanagh said: “This licensing committee expects certain standards from the people who drive private hire cars throughout the city. Do you think you have achieved that?”
