The Committee considered a report regarding a proposed practical driving assessment for applicants for joint Hackney Carriage and Private Hire driver licences.
At its meeting on 23 May 2013, the Committee had requested the Licensing Team Leader to investigate the feasibility of conducting physical assessments of applicants’ driving skills.
RESOLVED - That the Licensing Team Leader be authorised to undertake formal consultation with the existing licensed trade and public (via the Council’s web-site) on the proposals to test applicants’ driving skills, as set out in appendices 2 and 3 of the report, and on the proposal to use the assessment in relation to existing drivers where concerns are raised about their driving.
