Bucks Council have successfully prosecuted a private hire driver in Aylesbury for using a licensed private hire vehicle without valid insurance. 

Shahid Mushtaq of Victoria Street in Aylesbury had changed his vehicle insurance so that he was no longer covered to carry paying passengers despite continuing to work.

Mr Mushtaq pleaded guilty by post and was sentenced at Wycombe Magistrates Court, he received eight points on his license and a fine of over £1,000.

Nick Naylor, Cabinet Member for Housing, Homelessness and Regulatory Services, said:

“Driving a vehicle without valid insurance is a serious offence. Compliance with road safety laws and the rules for taxi and private hire licensing are essential for keeping the public safe when they are using licensed vehicles."
