RUNNING WITHOUT an 0-licence combined with tachograph and driver licensing offences have cost a Harrow company and one of its drivers more than £2,000 in fines and costs.
JP Transport of Kenton, Harrow pleaded guilty before the Hillingdon magistrates to using a vehicle without an 0-licence, permitting a driver to drive without a valid driving licence, and having no insurance. It was fined £1,440 with £430 costs. Driver, Narendra Kunverji admitted making a false tachograph record and driving without a licence or insurance. He was fined £330 with £70 costs and his driving licence was endorsed with six penalty points.
Anthony Ostrin, prosecuting for VOSA, said a vehicle operated by the company and driven by Kunverji was checked in Southampton Row, Middlesex.
When asked to produce his tachograph chart Kunverji admitted that it was his brother's chart and said he had altered the date at the roadside while he was waiting to be seen by the examiner because he had forgotten to put a chart in the tachograph.
It transpired that Kunverji did not have a driving licence for that class of vehicle so any insurance would automatically be invalid.
For the company, it was said that it was in effect a one man band and the owner did not know he needed an 0-licence.
