Rogue cabbies fined for unlicensed cars TWO South Yorkshire drivers and a private hire taxi operator have been fined for running unlicensed vehicles. Michelle Greaves, aged 40, of Probert Avenue, Goldthorpe, proprietor of D&M Cars, pleaded guilty at Barnsley Magistrates' Court to using an unlicensed private hire vehicle and driver. Driver Ricky Dobson, 24, also of Probert Avenue, Goldthorpe, pleaded guilty to driving an unlicensed vehicle and not holding a private hire driver's licence. Greaves and Dobson were each fined £115, ordered to pay costs of £187 and a victim surcharge of £15, making a total of £317 each. They also received six points on their driving licences. Also in court was Michael Moore, 41, of Wombwell Avenue, New Hill, Wath, who was charged with driving without a private hire driver's licence. He pleaded guilty and was fined £490, plus £356.62 costs and a £15 victim surcharge - a total of £861.62. Coun Charles Wraith, chairman of the General Regulatory Licensing Board, said: "Unlicensed vehicles and drivers do not have the required checks carried out by Barnsley Council to ensure they are safe for the public to use, therefore they put members of the public at significant risk. "Where a vehicle is driven illegally, insurance is void and if it is involved in an accident the passengers would also be uninsured. "These breaches of the legislation are totally unacceptable and the council's enforcement staff will continue to work with the trade in Barnsley to ensure illegal drivers, vehicles and operators are removed from the streets and that the safety of the travelling public is improved." Coun Wraith praised the council's enforcement staff for their hard work in securing the prosecutions and members of the trade who continued to assist the council by providing information on illegal vehicles and drivers. |

Another solution would be to come to Bolton, then some pseudo taxi/ph representatives would support them. |

I can tell you're missing him Me thinks thou' does protest too much CC....maybe a bit of a love hate thing going on for you with "him" too?  OK...maybe not!
To be serious though, considering there have been a few news items on TDO from some of his (many!) areas recently, it's been rather surprising, not to have several extra pages of unreadable posts from him about some, or all, of the events. None of the TDO articles, extracted from local press news stories, even mentioned him, when he would normally be "crowbarring" his views into their story, should he not actually have been asked for them. I do hope he's OK and still providing a quality service for his many members.
