A CUMBRIAN haulier whose vehicle attracted 10 prohibitions in five years has been allowed to surrender its existing licence during a public inquiry. If a fresh licence is applied for it will he considered at a further public inquiry.
North-Western Deputy Traffic Commissioner Patrick Mulvenna accepted the surrender of the 10vehicles/14-trailer licence held by Cockermouth-based Isaac and Joyce Teasdale, trading as TB Teasdale.
Vehicle examiner Andrew Sefton said he examined two vehicles and live trailers during a maintenance investigation in February. issuing two prohibitions,both S-marked showing a serious lapse in maintenance.
Ten prohibitions had been issued over the past five years; the annual test failure rate was above 40%; the inspection records were not satisfactorily completed; inspections had not been carried out at the agreed interval of 28 days; and there was no written driver defect-reporting system.
Since the maintenance investigation, two immediate prohibitions had been issued at annual test.Tachograph charts showed that one vehicle had been used after failing its annual test. The DTC believed Isaac Teasd ale had little idea how to address the problems found but agreed that a contract with a new commercial vehicle repairer appeared satisfactory.
Isaac Teasdale said his vehicle repairer had left prior to the vehicle examiner's visit and it had taken time to find a suitable replacement. The vehicles were now being inspected every 28 days. He felt the prohibitions looked worse than they were.
He added that they had not done any haulage since the end of July and agreed that there was not much point in keeping the licence.
