Of the ten reconsideration hearing requests previously identified, three related to endorsable driving offences where the licensee had accrued 12 or more points on their DVLA driver’s licence. Of these three cases, one related to an application to renew a taxi driver licence and the other two related to suspensions of taxi driver licences.
Our Taxi and PHV Driver Policy sets out our approach on the consideration of taxi and private hire driver licence applications and associated matters in London.
If this is not the information you are looking for please do not hesitate to contact me.
