A banned taxi driver denies claims he had oral sex in his taxi due to him being impotent. Daniel Boulton is challenging a decision to remove his private hire licence over the alleged incident.
The 54 year old, who works for Direct Cars, is appealing at Boston Magistrates Court. A date was fixed for an appeal hearing in Lincoln later this year.
Lincolnshire Live reports that the taxi driver has not been able to work since the City of Lincoln Council withdrew his permit on April 6 this year. His solicitor Matthew Tye said: "There was allegedly some lewd behaviour witnessed by staff at the YMCA in his taxi. There is factual denial that that behaviour happened.

"There's an allegation that someone was performing oral sex on him in the car. He's been impotent for a number of years and cannot get an erection."
A private hire vehicle is one that can carry up to eight passengers. They must be pre-booked via a licensed operator and cannot use taxi ranks or be flagged down in the street.
Becky Scott, legal services manager at the City of Lincoln Council, said: “There is an appeal listed for November 10, 2022 and the council can provide no further comment at this stage.”
