Driver Using Mobile Phone Whilst Driving HGV Dealt with By Way of Formal Warning at Driver Conduct Hearing

This driver, represented at the driver conduct hearing by barrister, Harry Bowyer, had forgotten his bluetooth and had picked up a call when behind the wheel of his truck. He applied for his licence to be reviewed and was called in to a driver conduct hearing. He should have been dealt with from a starting point of a 4 week suspension but the Traffic Commissioner took into account the time that he had spent without his vocational licence and dealt with the matter by way of a formal warning.
