Man spared jail for operating fake taxi

A Dublin man, who has never had a full driver's licence, has been spared a jail sentence for fraudulently operating a taxi using forged documentation.
David Slight, 49, from Pinebrook Vale, Huntstown, was fined €250 and given a two-year road ban after he pleaded guilty at Dublin District Court to offences under the Road Traffic Act and the Theft and Fraud Act.
