AN AMAZON delivery driver has been granted a cab licence for one year despite purposely driving into a security guard at Gartnavel Hospital injuring him.
Syed Shah, who has had his driver’s licence for 15 years, was disqualified from driving for six months and fined £300 for bruising the man’s shins following a heated argument over parking spaces in 2014.
Mr Shah was also caught driving with defective tyres and had his licence endorsed as a result.
The issue was discussed at Glasgow City Council’s licensing board.
Councillor Alex Wilson said: “It says you drove into him, were found guilty and disqualified for six months.
“If we grant you a taxi driver’s licence we need to know the taxi is safe to be on the road not just you.”
