His driver's license was cancelled and he was disqualified from driving for three months. On the 23 July 2007, Mr Alghunmeen was observed driving a private hire vehicle during the period of disqualification. He was charged for this offence and on 8 May 2008, the Local Court convicted Mr Alghunmeen and disqualified him from driving for a period of 12 months from that date.
