Taxi driver set off with a passenger leaning through his window during fare row

Another private hire driver has also been handed a licence despite driving off while a woman and her daughter tried to get out of his car.

Abbas Ahmad previously had a bid to renew his taxi licence thrown out following a complaint from PoliceNow Mr Ahmad, who told licensing chiefs the passenger was trying to get away without paying, has been granted a private hire driver’s licence. He was warned over his future behaviour.

A Police Scotland officer said a man had been dragged along the road, and injured, during the incident in Rutherglen. Mr Ahmad’s legal representative told councillors his client had “found himself in a difficult situation”. The passenger later paid for the taxi. Since being rejected for a taxi licence renewal, Mr Ahmad has been a delivery driver for Yodel and has a “blemish free record”.

He was also warned over his future conduct after Police Scotland complained over the incident in December 2018. Mr Tahir pulled his car forward on Buchanan Street, Baillieston, while his passenger and her four-year-old daughter were trying to alight, an officer said.
