Traffic Commissioner curtails and suspends PSV operator licence

What was published

Following a public inquiry, the Deputy Traffic Commissioner reduced the operator’s restricted PSV authorisation from two vehicles to one and imposed a 14-day suspension. The decision records undertakings for an independent transport safety and compliance audit and the appointment of a responsible person.

Why it matters

The decision shows why operators should address compliance weaknesses before a Public Inquiry. Maintenance, tachograph procedures, MOT performance, management responsibility, audit evidence and completed remedial action can all become central to the regulator’s assessment.
