A private hire driver caught speeding after he had already been warned for driving too fast has been allowed to keep his licence.
Tahir Awan was reprimanded by Glasgow’s licensing committee when his private hire car driver’s licence was renewed in May 2019 – but he was clocked speeding again in November 2020.
Police Scotland objected to his latest renewal bid, arguing he is no longer a “fit and proper” person to hold a licence. But councillors agreed to award a licence for a restricted period of one year, and issued a “severe” warning over his future conduct.
