Existing licence holders

If you are an existing O licence holder the Traffic Commissioner will expect you to bring your records to the Inquiry. These typically will include your maintenance records and drivers hours analysis records. In addition, the Commissioner will want to see your training and disciplinary records. The Commissioner or Deputy Commissioner will want to review these to check for problems.

 

New Applicants for an operator’s licence

If you are applying for a new operator’s licence, you will have to bring a different set of records to the Inquiry. These will include details of your proposed maintenance systems, but also information on how you will comply with the laws on drivers hours.

Both existing and new licence holders will have to be able to demonstrate financial standing. Typically this will involve bringing bank account records and financial statements to your hearing in Golborne or Warrington.
