Professional Driver Conduct Hearings

The Secretary of State refers decisions regarding the conduct of those applying for, and those holding PCV and LGV driving licences, to Traffic Commissioners.

We can help if either you or one of your drivers has been called to a driver conduct hearing before a Traffic Commissioner.

This may be for various reasons such as being convicted of a motoring offence such as use of a mobile phone, or drivers' hours infringements. The Traffic Commissioner has to look at whether a professional driver is a fit person to either hold or retain a vocational licence.

We recommend you seek advice as soon as possible before the hearing. The Traffic Commissioner has significant powers including the ability to suspend or revoke your vocational licence.

If you are a professional driver, you will need your licence to keep your job and your livelihood. Losing your vocational licence could have a significant impact on you and any dependants. It is therefore vital that you get advice.
