A man has lost his bid to become a private hire driver after it was revealed he was caught on the Clydeside Expressway with a fake licence when driving too slowly.An officer told councillors that the applicant had produced a “false” Italian driving licence when pulled over by police.Councillors heard the applicant also showed a provisional UK licence to the officers, but he was “not accompanied by a qualified driver”.
He said he had been told the fake licence, which he bought online, was legal, but police checks had shown it was fake. Councillor Alex Wilson, SNP, who chairs the licensing committee, said: “You do realise you put yourself and others at risk. We cannot have people driving with fake drivers’ licence. “I understand the road system in Pakistan is probably a lot busier than what it is here, but you need to have a full UK driver’s licence to drive here.”
“If you had an accident, you are getting sued massively. You could have killed people and you’re not insured. You’ve taken too many risks.”
