Scaffolder Granted Licence at Traffic Commissioner’s Public Inquiry After Operating Truck Without a Licence

This scaffolder allowed his licence to lapse and had to apply for a new one. Whilst waiting for the new licence he was found to have used his truck over 100 times through use of the ANPR system. The subsequent Public Inquiry did not end happily! He reapplied for a licence and was represented at the second Public Inquiry by barrister Harry Bowyer. The Traffic Commissioner found that the remedial steps taken by the scaffolder to restore his fitness to hold a licence were sufficient for him to grant the licence as applied for.
