A Glasgow cab driver caught travelling at 80mph in a 50mph zone has argued it was because he wasn’t used to driving an automatic, a meeting has heard.
Asif Naeem, 44, who received three penalty points and a fine over the speeding on the M74, got his private hire car driver’s licence renewed this week after councillors weighed up his case.
The licensing and regulatory committee heard Mr Naeem did not notice his speed had crept up during the incident in September last year.
