No regulatory action taken against HGV Driver following bridge strike.

Millicent Dooher, barrister, represented this driver following a call in to the Office of the Traffic Commissioner after the Driver had been involved in a bridge strike. Millicent was able to establish that the driver did not act in any way recklessly or with any disregard to either the route or the road signs. The Traffic Commissioner took no regulatory action against the driver.

Bridge strikes are taken extremely seriously by the Traffic Commissioner, not least where many cause significant damage or delays to other road or rail users. The starting point for a vocational driver involved in a bridge strike is a 6-month revocation and disqualification.
