'There’s a lot of things that just don’t seem to add up in this.'
A private hire driver has been suspended after plying for trade, as councillors decided his story about picking up friends after a night out “doesn’t seem to add up”.
The hackney driver reported that he had been flagged down by a couple who “came up to me asking a price to Paisley” in October last year. “They said ‘this private hire in front of you wants £35 cash, can you beat this quote?’ “I said he’s not allowed to pick you up without booking. They left and went to him, sat in his private hire car and drove off.”
“I can take my friends home as it is difficult for them to get a taxi home. I can only assume that’s what happened on this occasion and the taxi driver got the wrong idea.” Mr Ibrahim’s representative said if the committee decided his client was guilty then it was his first offence and he had never previously breached his licence conditions.
