Illegal limousine operator fined 14,000 pounds. A Bradford- based limousine operator has been fined 14.200 pounds, including costs, after a series of 'extremely serious irregularities' were discovered. Mohammed Saleen Nawez, trading as Oasis Limousines Ltd, was fined Ј10,200 plus Ј4000 costs at Leeds Crown Court for offences containing driving without insurance, fraudulent use of registration plates, fraudulent use of Vehicle Excise Duty, not having an O-license of Certificate of Initial Fitness (COIF). Mr. Nawaz also had 31 points endorsed on his driving license.
Mr Nawaz claimed he attempted to get a license, but this was disproved. Then he tried to make an application. He was consulted to repay the debt at a minimum rate of 500 pounds per-month, and warned that failure to do so would almost certainly lead to a prison sentence. It was only after an outstanding hardship case was happened, that Mr. Nawaz escaped disqualification. He is also due to face proceedings for further offences, also relating to a failure to obtain the correct PSV licenses and O-licenses, and associated offences. VOSA's Head of Traffic Enforcement Policy Neil Barlow sais:" VOSA will continue to crackdown on the rush minority who put the public at risk. The fines imposed show just how seriously we take issue".
