A cabbie in Chelmsford has kept his licence despite colliding with a drunk pedestrian.
The unamed cabbie, who holds both a hackney carriage and a private hire licence had his fitness to hold a licence put into question after attempting to flee from a drunk member of the public.
The person in question had allegedly threatened the driver and blocked his path, trying to prevent the cabbie from escaping.
The driver attempted to reverse around the individual, and also phoned the police, before clipping the man with his vehicle as he was finally able to leave the scene.
The pedestrian suffered no injury, this factor was taken into account by Chelmsford City Council's licensing committee, as well as other mitigating factors, such as the driver being under threat. The committee were critical of the fact that the pedestrian could have slipped and been badly injured by the vehicle.
Despite the cabbie keeping his licence, the committee commented that his status as a fit and proper person had been severely bought into question.

A leading national provider of taxi driver assessments is making its first appearance at the Private Hire and Taxi Exhibition this year to advocate driver tests to make taxi travel safer for operators, drivers and passengers.The Blue Lamp Trust has been running practical driving assessments for taxi licence applicants and existing taxi drivers since 2011. To date, its assessors have tested nearly 10,000 taxi drivers nationally for 106 licensing authorities.
The trust’s business development manager David Watkins and senior driver assessor Graeme Pilling are manning a display at the MK Dons stadium in Milton Keynes on 9-10 May 2018 to explain the benefits of driving assessments and further driver training.
Mr Watkins said: “Our assessments improve safety but they also save time and money for everyone. Reducing the number of collisions and injuries reduces the associated costs of compensation claims and higher insurance premiums.
“Our assessments also prevent reputational damage to a taxi operator by cutting down on complaints by unhappy passengers.”
He added: “The Blue Lamp Trust is committed to a fair, open and transparent assessment, reflecting the standards set by the Driver and Vehicle Standards Agency with the safety of the passengers and others as our top priority.”
Better for operators
All members of the trust’s nationwide network of assessors are approved by the Driver and Vehicle Standards Agency (DVSA) to “Fleet” level.
The Blue Lamp Trust has a very short waiting time for tests, aiming to complete all assessments between 5 to 15 working days after a booking.
The Trust also offers e-learning to prepare for an assessment, which is a more cost-effective option than on-road lessons.
Assessments and driver training help employers meet their duty of care while identifying gaps in their drivers’ skills. The Trust also offers advanced training to upskill drivers for executive travel firms.
Trusted by licensing authorities
Licensing authorities have a duty to make taxi travel as safe as possible. For example, Transport for London is committed to eradicating deaths and serious injuries on the capital’s roads and as part of its “Vision Zero” policy, the authority is considering introducing advanced driving and accessibility training tests for taxi and private hire drivers.
Since The Blue Lamp Trust started providing a taxi driver assessment service to one Unitary Authority in 2016 there has been a 37% drop in taxi-related incidents, with a 36% reduction in injuries.The Blue Lamp Trust maintains strict quality criteria and standards in its training and assessments that promote public safety. As such, it does not provide driving lessons before an assessment, to avoid any conflict of interest.
Assessments are at zero cost to the licensing authority and all money made by the Trust is used to promote and enhance community safety through its “Bobby” scheme.

VIENNA - Ride-hailing service Uber said it was suspending operations in Vienna on Wednesday after a court upheld a complaint against its business practices brought by a local taxi company.
Uber's Austrian arm said in a statement: "Sadly, today's decision by Vienna's commercial court, for now, does not allow us to offer our services UberX, UberBLACK, and uberVAN in Vienna".
But it added that "we are working intensively to change our practices, in order to be able to offer our services to you again within a few days".
The complaint against Uber was brought by the Taxi 40100 company.
It said Uber represented unfair competition as it did not have to abide by the same rules as traditional taxi companies for picking up passengers.
"We're delighted with the court's decision," said Taxi 40100 head Christian Holzhauser.
Ride-hailing services have met with protests from taxi drivers in numerous cities and varying levels of resistance from authorities around the world.
Earlier this month, Uber had to suspend one of its services in Greece after tighter rules on the sector were introduced, while in March it had to suspend operations in the Slovakian capital Bratislava.

Under the mismanagement of Mike (on side) Brown, TfLTPH have lost all control of Taxi and PH apps.
This trade has a problem with alleged unlicensed Taxi drivers at Heathrow asking for postcodes to major hotels.
And now, Transport apps are prompting Taxi drivers to break the law.
Someone has to speak up for Public Safety.
Do we matter at all?
Licensed London Taxi drivers are as safe as houses!
Transport Apps are not safe.
Transport Apps need a regulator, or it will end up like in Ireland where anyone with a driving license may drive for an app - no cab license needed.
How dangerous is that?
It shows 'The Establishment' don't give a toss if a Pleb is raped or even murdered. They probably feel there's a surplus of us already.
The silence from our representativeOrgs and Unions, especially those with newspapers and magazines, is deafening.
If any of our Orgs or Unions put advertising revenue before Public Safety, they are no better than the corrupt politicians and brazen TfL execs they pour scorn on.
The same goes for any driver who wants to sweep this dangerous situation under the carpet, because it might affect their app work.
Here's news for you, you're not earning more on an app than on the street.
You've just learned to rely on it.
Principles are not for sale.
By Lenny Etheridge.

Uber driver Frederick Amfo, 30, who was charged with raping a female passenger in Massachusetts, was able to flee the country after a mistake was made by a courts clerk. Amfo posted bail after pleading not guilty to the charges, but instead of having to surrender his passport immediately, he was given 24 to hand it over, giving him enough time to flee the country and return back to his native Ghana.
The court has said that the mistake was made at their end.Amfo was charged with raping a female passenger on April 8 as he drove her home. His alleged victim has spoken in public about the case and has called for a formal investigation into the bail procedure which took place, a report in the New York Post confirmed. Massachusetts law enforcement agencies are now working to bring Amfo back to the U.S for a trial.
