Taxi driver was over alcohol limit
9:30am Friday 26th October 2012 in News
A DRUNK taxi driver crashed his car into traffic lights and veered into oncoming vehicles.
Kashif Malik, of Scott Road, Cutteslowe, wrote off his Mercedes cab in the Oxford Road smash by Water Eaton Park-and-Ride on Sunday, September 2.
The father-of-three had been drinking brandy with friends after a row with his wife, Oxford magistrates was told on Wednesday.
The 29-year-old admitted having 92 micrograms of alcohol in 100ml of breath, above the legal limit of 35 micrograms.
Ann Sawyer-Brandish, prosecuting, said Malik had tried to overtake before hitting a central island.
She said: “The vehicle seems to have lost control, hitting a traffic light and carried on into oncoming traffic.
“It then continued to the pavement where it came to a stop and hit another traffic light.”
Malik – who did not have a passenger at the time of the crash – had been a cabbie for five years for Oxford-based 001 Taxis.
Chris Bennett, defending, said the conviction would mean Malik could not work as a taxi driver for at least five years.
He added: “It was his car that was written off in the incident and he has no source of income now.”
Malik was banned from driving for two years, told to pay £40 costs, and told to complete 100 hours’ unpaid community work in the next year.

In the last year alone there have been many incidents which involved these kind of disgusting nd drunkard people getting drunk and killing some innocent
Person, my best friend was also killed by a drunk driver 3 years ago driver than shamelessly said 'he had argument with his girlfriend but after the investigation it was found he also use to torture and beat his girl friend and was lying to cover himself..
I truly understand how it feels , I think this man should have been given a more stronger punishment as a lesson for others to follow heed. Bcz he has no sympathy for other life's..

I also agree with you guys and feel sorry for his wife n kids, I think they should also b suffering Bcz of him a drunk nd drug addict for many years and probably be better of living without this Kind of man , Bcz of him the whole taxi profession Is losing is credibility and trust..
I would like to assure you guys, this is just one off incident and not all taxi drivers act in such a way , I'm too a taxi driver and wrk hard to earn, n have to work day nd night but please don't judge the profession by some stupid criminals like him.. These type of criminals don't represent the hard working taxi drivers nd the work we do..

One can only wonder this instance of driving over the legal limit was a one off.
Surely, customers often use taxi's when they have been out drinking and ought not to expect the taxi driver to have consumed more alcohol than they have (regardless of the time of day/night)!!! Maybe the taxi companies could have a policy of breathalyzing drivers before they go 'on duty'.......hope that a taxi driver like Shinning Star wouldn't have a problem with this as I can only imagine that the safety of the customer is paramount to a taxi companies reputatio!!

But again there will be bad apples like Malik In every basket , which none actually can eliminate as there will always be people like him who are selfish drunkard nd drug addicts criminal minded but all we can do is try our best to opt in to a system which works for general concern of all public and protects them from these kind of criminals like Malik..
I personally as a taxi driver don't mind what you suggested cuckoo Bcz I know I've got nothing to hide and I always make sure that my customers safety comes first and trust me not all other taxi drivers r like him, there will Alway be criminals Like him in every coroner..

Hmm interesting switch in feelings!!
But as you suggested in your first comment, you want him deported by getting drunk behind a wheel. So much stupidity in your comment
What if he was born here?
What if one if his parent was white?
Is the deportation law only for humans who have an unfamilier name?
What do you do with his family when you deport him?
Etc etc
Please grow up. Your living in the 21st centuary and your comment doesnt fit the current criteria. Its like my mate in taxi getting asked 'where are you from', he answers 'england!'.....becau
se he was born here....DUH

We already have many drankards and druggies here , why should we allow people from other counties come , commit crimes and simply get away wjth it easily and when questioned , it's simply all English r racist.. If we English were racist , we wouldn't have welcomed people from around da world to come In here and live with us with in our system. !!.. You said what about his family , If u read the article above he already fighting wiv his family so he aint have any and I also bet his family be better off alone without this drunkard , i cant think of any family being with drunk nd drug addict.
and you aren't mentioning all those families who may have been killed by his actions all those children and women , u won't think about em Bcz u only know to justify this straight through racism card game.
I have my beloved friend died In accident killed by a drunk taxi driver who was also a foreigner , so yeh I do have a strong and emotional sentiment about it ..
We welcome all those foreigners who come to England and obey our rules and regulation and abide by our law .. We don't want any criminals here as there are plenty of them here .. Same will apply if we go to your counties and commit crimes , you would not welcome us , you would not even accept us in the place let alone anything else.
I hope you start to understand the rationale before start playing racist card . I am English and I ain't a racist neither I hate foreigners..

I think you are only fixated nd obsessed with single comment and not to mention the consequence, had there been anyone killed, like my friend or some one close to you, then you would taken a different approach to this whole argument...
In the past we use to deport criminals abroad but thats a whole different argument, i didnt imply he must be deported my point was he should ve been either imprisoned or deported to his country of origin for endangering other lifes at great risks,, this would have been a great deterrent to others foreigners and British nationals that we have enough of all other criminals, this would also make the foreigners new comers think twice before committing any crime and if they are citizens then should at-least be imprisoned if you are putting others life at risk intentionally then you would have to suffer the consequences of all this, im not a lawmaker but thats my opinion ,,,
had the car not been stooped , this person could have killed many innocent people as he was approaching the oncoming . traffic this could have been catastrophic, i v already seen my mates dead body and would not want to see this happen to others .. but my argument didnt imply that he must v been deported if you read above i clearly stated imprisoned or deported...
I think the British people now demanding some tough justice , we can either continue to let all these crimes take place or either we can raise some concern... regardless of the fact its committed by white or any other race, all should be punished especially when it comes to putting someone's life in danger...

You From the English are racist rant to now accusing me of lying , and I never actually accused all cabbies did I ? Only the one who are drunkards and drug addicts like malik , and may be you are also one of those category , other wise you would not just be obsessed with a single comment and keep playing racist card to defend you argument ...
Neither you have any authority to ask me show you how to search for my mates incident , if you really need to learn you should hav gone to school , not my mistake that you missed that opportunity .. And once again neithe I accuse all driver of drunk behaviour neither I made any statement to defam any race , I am against all criminal like Malik either they be English or foreigners ... So stop playing racism card as always to defend your broken argument ..

Oooh so if you are a drinker and drug addict then I should say good luk to to you ... Your neiveity is reflected in your comments , If you can't search a news which is even been televised then this just shows really you should cut down drugging and start to see more of a daylight.... Your assumptions are based on your nievity , not pure logic.... It's pure amazing your obsession with a single comment shows how really drugged up you are !!

I suggest as u said you are a druggy your self , first go nd get some common sense, stop being obsessed with a single word of depo and get medical help from drug rehab..
I think after resolving these personal issue that affect you. you ll be in a better position to comment here ...
Secondly if your neiveity prevents you from loking at a wider issue and only being obsessed with a word you better get some help... Bcz u ain't making any sense ... P.s stop taking drugs , that's what happens when you are a druggy ...

Guys it's not a place to start arguments, I do understand both of your point of view, the problem is that every person had a different mind and way of looking at world ...
However I do belive that its not just Malik who is a drug and drunkard , anyone Who has issue with drug nd drinks for many manys years like malik should not be allowed to drive or given any responsible job, which involve taking responsibility for other life's ...
Buh I can't say anymore , I think personally Puting som1s life at risk should be punished with the most strictest penalty .. Otherwise It will become a norm and every other persona would think of it as a joke ...
Thr will b no detrnce ...
I don't feel sorry for ppl like Malik,, they should v thought abt the consequences befr and especially if they v been doing this for many many years .. They deserve more tough punishment than this ... I belive families are better nd alone without these kind of people , reason being .. If u can't care for humanity nd puting other lifes at risk den how could u care for your loved ones....
I ll leave it to that , and last just before what I commented becomes an issue, my views aren't only for drunkard nd drug addict like Malik it's for every1 like Malik who's ok drugs nd drinks for years and wouldn't giv a **** about other life ... I am relived that none was killed Bcz as I saw above innocent ppl could have been killed as the car went on to oncoming traffic... It would v made ko difference to criminals like Malik but it could have killed many innocent ppl including children...

First you addiction had made you obsessed with a single word..
Second your Brain can't even comprehend to look in to the whole issue .
Third. Your psychopathic brain is hallucinating for some obvious reasons.. I think you should see a drug therapist it doc ASAP ... Or get some life , it seems the whole purpose of your life's is nothing more than hallucinating wildly...
Fourth .. Get treatment for you continuous obsessions ...
There's nothing else to say ... As per you condition beyond curable ...

You talk about kick backs, yet you claim your self to be a drugy... A drugy like you can make assumptions based on the clarifications they perceived from their limited mind which is good for nothing..
I think your lifes wasted,, wonder why you need a reason to become so obsessed with things which are not to concern for anyone but a self proclaimed substance misuser and addict like you..
The way you are defending this crime so stupidly and being so defensive is sounding like that you are Maliks brother, so i assume both you brothers are drugiiieeesss... as per you said you both self proclaimed to be druggies, like you just said you are,, nothing to be proud of,,, I dont think you father would be very proud of you two, as both of you are drugiess in short (liability for british tax payers)....
Before you make any assumption get your self a doctor first and both of you brothers should atleast need a long term care plan,, before being allowed to speak in public domain!!!

@ car fax cabby. First Of all what legitimacy you have and why do I have to prove to a cabbie about an incident which taken place ,if you were educated enough you could easily obtain the info from the nation crimes database stored through many different networks of info such as. National papers, this shows really you v never actuall had time to do anything else with your life , unable to perform basic searches and you are accusing me of making fairy tales.
Dear Truthspainful/shinni
ngstar, there were 250 death on our roads from DD in 2010 and I took today off work to search them all. None of them had a friend called Truthspainful, or Shinningstar, so I will be left to make my own conclusions, as will Darkforbid. By the way, judging by his reasonable arguments, and articulate posts, and the fact that he seems able to do this at all hours, Darkforbid must be one hell of an educated "druggiee" as you put it. or maybe he isn't at all, had you thought about that.

Your lifes such a waste that you took time of work to spend a whole day searching.. lol... i think its time for you to go school,,, the opportunity which you v missed.
you should educate your self as you cant use truthispainful to search for this info, you ll have to go through crimes database, date search, look for london as a location and find out for your self... You are a joker ... you didnt have to take time off work for such a small matter... hows how wasted your life is??
you are mentioning about darkforbid, he himself is a self confessed drugee, as you are using the same profile too so good luck.
It dosent matter what you articulate, your articulation has no meaning... its you either know how to defend stand behind nd defend drug dealers nd drunk drivers like malik,, why dont you start open a charity for in support of convicted criminals, so all drugiees which you r defending to your teeth can attend and get bravery medals for committing all sort of crimes..
If i was to articulate and start making nonsense assumptions i come to same conclusion that either you are Maliks Brother so thats why you r defending his crimes,, where as i have nothing to do with Malik or against him, i am only against crime which you love to support. But i am not as desperate as you are....
Go and get a real life, you using car fax caby nd darkforbid profiles, makinf nonsense comments to defend crimes and then obsessing about a single depo word ,,, in the end you taking day of work....

Which government can we pin the blame for bad spelling on? It isn't just those commenting on this article, but across the entire Oxford Mail, including the articles and headlines as well as the comments. Even people in professional jobs cannot spell. Maybe if people in the UK didn't pronounce their words so poorly it might help?
That's right Steve, as in "can yuw take me to kidli-un please mate" or "edi-un" or "donni-un" etc, but to be fair I have learnt that it is just the way locals speak, and i dont think they spell that way, I hope.
