ACASE which relates to drivers who take friends to and from work has been won on appeal by the R.A.C.. acting on behalf of a member.
Mr. Bryan Plenty, of Kingswood, Bristol, was convicted on three chargas concerning the use of his vehicle for the carriage of passengers " for hire or reward." When the summonses were heard, there was evidence that one of the passengers had paid for petrol for the vehicle, but no evidence was given that Mr. Plenty was driving for reward on the date of the summons. He was fined 15 on each summons, with five guineas costs and £3 8s. expenses.
When the appeal was heard at Gloucester Quarter Sessions, the chairman said that, whilst the Bench considered there was a scheme of payment among the passengers, it was not carriage for hire or reward within the definition of Section 118 of the Road Traffic Act, 1960. The appeal was therefore allowed with costs.
