Cab driver whose license was suspended nine times before crash that killed legendary CBS correspondent Bob Simon

The Daily Mail reports:

The cab driver in the crash which killed veteran CBS correspondent Bob Simon had his license suspended at least half a dozen times prior to the fatal accident and had two traffic convictions, the NYPD confirmed today.

Reshad Abdul Fedahi, 44, of Queens, New York, had multiple cleared suspensions and was driving on a probationary license.

The Taxi and Limousine Commission did not comment on the driver's previous suspensions on Thursday but the agency earlier confirmed that Fedahi’s probationary license had been suspended pending the outcome of the investigation.

Holding a probationary license means that the driver has been behind the wheel for less than a year.

Just a reminder the next time someone says Uber drivers are dangerous. It appears the taxi cartel's safety standards failed Bob Simon.
