Glasgow taxi driver promises to be 'very careful' after getting nine points

A taxi driver has promised to be "very careful" while on the job after stacking up nine penalty points.

Arsalan Khan appeared in front of Glasgow's licensing and regulatory committee yesterday and was given a warning over his future conduct as councillors granted his licence.

Reasons for him ending up with points on his licence, included failing to obey traffic lights, contravening a pedestrian crossing and exceeding the speed limit.

Committee chair Alex Wilson told Mr Khan: "You seem to be going through the list of driving contraventions. All that seems to be missing is a mobile phone while driving."

Councillor Wilson asked: "How will you manage over the next two years to keep your licence?" with Mr Khan just needing to accumulate another three points to face being disqualified.

Mr Khan replied: "I am very sorry. I will try to be very careful."

Councillor Wilson added: "You have to adhere to traffic regulations at all times.

"You are walking a fine line for the next two years."

The committee granted Mr Khan's licence but it will be for a restricted period until October 2026. He received a warning over his future conduct.
