Taxi driver suspended for failing to report crash and have car checked for damage
A taxi driver from Lancashire has been suspended after failing to report a car crash to the appropriate authorities within 72 hours.
Complaints had been filed to Wyre Council about the taxi driver's conduct during a car accident in November 2021. Mr Davies failed to report the incident and also failed to have his vehicle checked for roadworthiness after the accident. Instead, he continued to use the vehicle for work. Council officers reported that Mr Davies, who had reported 10 car accidents since 2016, had been the only Wyre driver that had reported more than 3 accidents over a 6 year period. Mr Davies appealed the council's decision to suspend his driving license but the Magistrates upheld the decision and dismissed his appeal.
