Mr Mushtaq pleaded guilty by post and was sentenced at Wycombe Magistrates Court, he received eight points on his license and a fine of over £1,000.
Nick Naylor, Cabinet Member for Housing, Homelessness and Regulatory Services, said:
“Driving a vehicle without valid insurance is a serious offence. Compliance with road safety laws and the rules for taxi and private hire licensing are essential for keeping the public safe when they are using licensed vehicles."
