Revoked private hire licence driver CAUGHT operating in Shipley
A private hire driver has been caught continuing to work despite having their licence revoked by the local authority.
West Yorkshire Police’s Steerside Enforcement Team stopped the vehicle on Owlet Road in Shipley. Checks confirmed that the driver no longer held a valid private hire licence.
The vehicle was seized at the roadside due to insufficient insurance cover. The driver has been reported to court and also to Bradford Council for further action.
Operating a private hire vehicle without the correct licensing and insurance can result in prosecution, fines, and disqualification from future licensing.
