7-day Suspension for Driver Following an Offence of Having an Unsecured Load, Causing Danger of Serious Injury

Barrister, Millicent Dooher represented this driver before the Traffic Commissioner at a Driver Conduct Hearing following the driver’s guilty plea to having an unsecured load that caused danger of serious injury.

Millicent was able to persuade the Traffic Commissioner to deal with the matter by way of a 7-day suspension of his HGV entitlements, at a convenient time for the driver, to mark this driver’s record for such a serious, but isolated offence.

Not every offence has a guideline or starting point set out in the Traffic Commissioner’s Statutory Guidance Document 6, this can make it hard to know what to expect. Contact one of our lawyers today to receive free advice on any issues you may have before the Traffic Commissioner.
