Bridge Striking Driver Avoids Revocation at Driver Conduct Hearing
This driver, represented by barrister Harry Bowyer, appeared at a driver conduct hearing for striking a bridge to the extent that his load was displaced on the road and trains were slowed pending investigation. The starting point for bridge strikes in the Senior Traffic Commissioner’s Statutory Guidance is revocation of the driver’s vocational licence and disqualification for 6 months. In this case the mitigation was such that the Traffic Commissioner was able to meet the case with a suspension.
