MK taxi driver reported to school by distressed student for illegal mobile phone use whilst driving

Updated: Oct 16, 2020

A Milton Keynes taxi driver has allegedly been witnessed by Dwayne Hards illegally using his mobile phone whilst driving

The taxi driver taking Dwayne to school has been witnessed using his mobile phone whilst driving and one other student from S--------- --ademy has also witnessed the illegal mobile phone use whilst the taxi driver was driving whilst texting & dialing.


The taxi driver was also warned previously by the taxi company about illegally using his phone whilst driving and --- also said that the taxi driver "always checks his phone whilst driving."


When Dwayne arrived at school the first step he took was going into the canteen for breakfast and asking his form tutor "can I speak to Anonymous please?" then Dwayne told Anonymous that "I am really pissed off because my taxi driver was on his phone", then the anonymous member of staff told someone else who would handle the incident and later on his dad came and picked him up.

"This is absolutely disgusting how a driver thinks it`s ok to use his phone whilst driving especially due to the fact that there were students younger than 15 on the taxi especially as he is supposed to be a taxi driver he should know better!"

And also why would a taxi company still have a driver working for them who has also used there phone in the past it is "disgraceful".


This has left the Student feeling distressed, and he has lost a lot of trust in #taxis.


Here is the current uk mobile phone law from gov.uk

According to metro.co.uk Drivers using mobile phones were responsible for 33 deaths on Britain's roads last year, according to new figures. There were a total of 1,793 people killed in vehicles and the number of those dying as a result of a driver being distracted by a phone has risen. 2018 reports
