Taxi Driver Online

A TAXI driver who made distressing remarks to a teenaged female passenger and was put on the sex offenders’ register, has had his appeal rejected.

Alexander Bowes, 60, said he gave the14-year-old advice to help her avoid becoming pregnant, adding that if she had been two years older he would have put her in his “little black book”.

Bowes admitted a breach of the peace charge at Aberdeen Sheriff Court in 2006. He was ordered to join a two-year sex offenders programme and given two years’ probation.

At Bowes’s appeal hearing to have his conviction suspended from his record, his solicitors argued his actions did not constitute a breach of the peace and did not come under the Sexual Offences Act 2003.

A panel of three judges have now rejected that appeal, but his appeal against sentence is still ongoing.

And this from a city that has a derestricted/delimited taxi fleet

see jim. No matter how many taxis on the road, even an oversupply, perverts will still find victims!

Take notice

More desperation. More fear.

Drivers should take notice of this case when they are asked to give out condoms to passenger as part of a campaign.

I wouldn't do this anyway.

We have to be VERY careful with female passengers.

Which is why I refuse to carry single females intoxicated by drink or drugs on their own.
