Successful Defence: S.172 Charge Withdrawn Against Operator Licence Holder
A company facing an S.172 charge for failing to provide driver details successfully avoided trial with the help of barrister Millicent Dooher. Prior to the hearing, Dooher presented evidence to the prosecution, leading to a decision to withdraw the charge. This outcome saved the company both time and costs.
While S.172 offences must be reported to the Traffic Commissioner, the withdrawal of the charge ensured no impact on their operator’s license.
