Decision
The operator’s repute isseverely tarnished. The starting point fell within the SERIOUS category, but this was mitigated down in part by the positive response to Mr Donaldson and to this Public Inquiry and the overall annual test history. The commissioner accepted the following undertaking:
- All vehicles and trailers operated under this licence will undergo a laden roller brake test as part of every Preventative Maintenance Inspection. The results will be recorded, and the records will be kept for at least 15 months, with the results to comply with the current DVSA Guide to Maintaining Roadworthiness and by reference to the DVSA guide on how to read a brake test report.
The commissioner allowed a Period of Grace for two months to show financial standing as described in the Senior Traffic Commissioner’s Statutory Document No. 2 on Finance. The Period of Grace was also to allow for the processing of the application to add Mr Brown as Transport Manager and to thereby meet the requirements of section 13A(3). The genuine link and reporting process must be assessed to show compliance with paragraph 14A(1)(d) of Schedule 3. The operator was warned as to the consequences of repeated non-compliance and/or a failure to discharge the Periods of Grace.
The commissioner recorded an adverse finding against the repute of Mr. Pavelin as Transport Manager.
