AN OPERATOR which was too busy to produce vehicles for an inspection has escaped with a formal warning and a reminder that 'cool heads' must prevail when dealing with the VI.
Rhuddlan-based Bob Francis Crane Hire had been called before the Welsh Deputy"fraffic Commissioner Alan Bourlet at a Caernarfon disciplinary inquiry. It holds a licence for six vehicles and eight trailers.
Vehicle examiner John Brown said he carried out a maintenance investigation in January and saw two trailers, which were free of defects. However, he was unable to complete his investigation because two vehicles were out working.
He suggested that the vehicles should be produced at a nearby road check the next day. The vehicles did not arrive, and when he phoned the company he was told they had been diverted elsewhere.
Francis told the DTC that the company valued its reputation and everything possible was done to see that contracts were met. He had not been prepan cancel the work for two vehicles at such short nc He had offered to allow Brown to inspect the veh at any time outside normal working hours fot vehicles, but Brown had said that was not possibl, All four vehicles had passed voluntary MoT te the past few weeks, he added.
Issuing a formal warning and directing that a inspection be carried out within six months, the I said that all parties would be calmer in future.
