2. Be of the age of eighteen (18) years or over;
3. Be of sound physique, with good eyesight, and not subject to epilepsy, vertigo, heart trouble or any other infirmity of body or mind which might render him or her unfit for the safe operation of a public vehicle, taking into consideration any restrictions placed on the person's motor vehicle license;
4. Be able to read and follow traffic signs, safely handle a pedicab in and among motorized vehicles in an urban setting, communicate with passengers, and have knowledge of Ogden geography and the designated service zone;
5. Be a holder, or be employed by or under contract with a holder;
6. Obtain from the Ogden Police Department a criminal background check and driver's license history. An individual is not eligible for a driver's license who has had a felony conviction, or a conviction for driving under the influence of alcohol or drugs, or any citations for reckless driving within three (3) years from the date of application;
7. Fill out upon a blank form, to be provided by the Chief of Police, a statement giving the applicant's full name; residence; places of residence for five (5) years previous to date of application; age; height; color of eyes and hair; place of birth; whether the applicant has ever been arrested or convicted of a felony or misdemeanor; whether the applicant has ever been convicted for driving under the influence of alcohol or drugs or for reckless driving; whether the applicant has previously been a licensed driver or chauffeur and, if so, whether any such license has ever been revoked and for what cause; which statement shall be signed and sworn to by the applicant and filed with the Chief of Police as a permanent record. It shall be unlawful for the applicant to make any false statement on said form.
B. Photographs: Each applicant for a driver's license must provide four (4) "passport style" photographs of the applicant, taken within the thirty (30) days preceding the filing of the application. Such photographs shall be taken at the Ogden police office, if available. One (1) photograph shall be attached to the driver's license when issued, one (1) shall be attached to the plastic badge, one (1) shall be filed with the Business License Coordinator, and the fourth shall be retained by the Chief of Police. The photograph should be so attached to the license that it cannot be removed and another photograph substituted without detection. Each licensed driver shall, upon demand of any police officer or passenger, exhibit the driver's license for inspection. Where the application for a license is denied, three (3) copies of the photograph shall be returned to the applicant and one (1) retained by the Chief of Police.
C. Fee; Issuance; Term: The fee for a driver's license shall be as established in chapter 1, article B of this title. Upon payment of the fee and compliance with the other requirements therefor, the Business License Coordinator shall issue the applicant a driver's license and the badge required by this article. The driver's license shall expire two (2) years after date of issue. It shall be in such form as to contain the photograph and signature of the licensee and a blank space upon which a record may be made of any arrest, revocation, suspension or serious complaint against the licensee. It shall be unlawful for any licensee to deface, remove or obliterate an official entry made upon the license.
D. Driver's Badge: There shall be delivered to each licensed driver a plastic badge of such form and style as the Chief of Police may prescribe, with the driver's picture, signature and license number thereon, which must, under penalty of the revocation of the license, be constantly and conspicuously displayed on the driver's cap or person when engaged as a pedicab driver. Such badge shall be nontransferable, and it shall be unlawful for any person to wear any such badge or one so similar as to deceive any person, unless the same has been regularly issued, as provided in this article, to the person wearing it.
E. License Denial, Suspension, Revocation:
1. Denials, suspensions or revocations shall be handled in accordance with the provisions of chapter 1, article C of this title, or its successor.
2. In addition to the grounds stated in chapter 1, article C of this title, the driver's license may be suspended or revoked for a violation of any of the provisions of this article, or for violation of any ordinance of the City or the State that involves a crime against the person or property of another. Any such suspension shall be noted on the license, together with a statement of the reasons thereof, and the driver shall thereupon be suspended or deprived of the driver's badge, the badge to be returned at the expiration of the period for which the license was suspended. A second suspension of any license shall revoke such license. No driver whose license has been revoked shall again be licensed as a driver for licensed public vehicles in the City except upon presentation of persons satisfactory to the Mayor, or the Mayor's designee.
