Police had objected to the application.
A driver fined after he was caught “exceeding 100mph” — his second speeding conviction — has been handed a private hire licence.
He was also alleged to have “failed to maintain control of the car” and “failed to maintain a safe braking distance from another vehicle”. Mr Safdar told councillors there was “no excuse for my actions”. He said he had been running late for his work with a rental car firm, which “caused me to make a regrettable decision to speed”.
Mr Safdar said he has “now firmly learnt my lesson given that my job was on the line, my livelihood”.
