This area covers taxi and private-hire driver penalties where driving offences lead to points on the licence, disqualification, or conditions imposed on licence holders. It focuses on how such offences interact with taxi or PHV licensing regimes, and the consequences for a driver’s ability to operate a taxi service. A solicitor in this field navigates licensing rules, penalties, and the impact on a driver’s livelihood, often linking criminal and licensing processes.
Where a solicitor protects your position
The solicitor represents the driver at licensing committees and courts, negotiates with licensing authorities, drafts representations and appeals against points or disqualification, and coordinates with the Driver and Vehicle Standards Agency or local licensing enforcement. They advise on the timing of declarations, potential waivers or undertakings, and the interplay between criminal proceedings and taxi licensing requirements to preserve or restore the right to work.
