It is now officially
the end of the road for bus and taxi drivers with convictions for sex crimes. The Land Transport
Amendment Act comes into effect today. Approximately 400 drivers no longer
have a passenger-class licence because they have previous criminal
convictions of a sexual nature. Although they are
hanging up their hats today, outraged drivers are vowing to get back behind
the wheel. Many say they are losing their licence because they were
prosecuted decades ago for having underage sex. They claim they should not be
lumped in the same category as hardened sex criminals. The Government is
promising a review of the law.
