• Four joiners who converted an Austin van into a minicoach, because they found it difficult to commute between York and their work site, and then commenced to operate an express service catering for fellow joiners at a charge of £2 per week, were fined a total of £41 when they appeared before York magistrates last week.
R. Morris, J. Loughray, M. King and J. W. Stead all pleaded guilty to operating a vehicle without a psv licence, road service licence and necessary insurance. Mr Morris also pleaded guilty to driving the vehicle without a psv driving licence.
Mr D. Myers, a DoE traffic examiner. stated that on April 7 this year he saw the vehicle, which was being driven in the direction of York, on the A19. On making a check he found the vehicle to be carrying 10 workmen, six of whom had paid the weekly rate of £2.
For the defendants it was said that none of them could be expected to understand the intricacies of the law governing passenger transport. The service had not been operated on a financial basis and although each of the paying passengers received a travelling allowance of some £5, the defendants had only asked for £2, to meet everyday running expenses.
For operating a vehicle without a psv licence each of the defendants was fined £2, for operating a vehicle without road service licence they were also fined £2 and, for failing to have the necessary insurance, £5. Mr Morris was fined an additional £2 for driving a passenger service vehicle when not the holder of a psv driving licence.
