Taxi driver to challenge laws requiring drivers to act respectfully

A taxi driver has secured leave from the High Court to challenge his conviction on a public order offence arising from a dispute with another taxi driver.

Jehosh Adekiyesi is challenging the constitutionality of provisions of the Road Traffic Regulations requiring taxi drivers to behave in "a civil, orderly and respectful" manner and section 6 of the Public Order Act after being convicted of both offences at Dublin District Court last May.
