Operator with Restricted Licence Survives Traffic Commissioner’s Public Inquiry

The Operator in this matter, represented at Public Inquiry by Harry Bowyer, approached SBC after an unsatisfactory Vehicle Examiner’s visit. The report that followed identified issues with record keeping, use of an unauthorised operating centre, unsatisfactory driver defect reporting, irregular maintenance inspections and failure to report significant changes to the Office of the Traffic Commissioner.

SBC arranged for the director and staff responsible for the transport side of the operation to sit an Operator Licence Awareness Course (OLAC) and referred them to a competent transport consultant who put new systems in place.

The Traffic Commissioner was impressed with the efforts made to bring the operation up to regulatory compliance and allowed the licence to continue subject to a short curtailment and a number of undertakings.
