Which of the following most accurately describes the problem?

WEST MIDLANDS Traffic Commissioners have warned that the days of coachmen operating from front gardens and keeping vehicles on public car parks must end.

Under the 1980 Transport Act, operators will need an Operator's licence to be in business at all, and traffic commissioners are not going to give licences to those who operate from their driveway.

It is not a suitable place, no matter what view the neighbours take, warned chairman Arthur Crabtree when he considered the future of the two public service vehicle licences held by B. S. Russell of Sutton Coldfield.

Vehicle examiner E. Sagar said the vehicles were maintained at Mr Russell's house and were kept on a car park. They were both defective on inspection.

After an undertaking that the vehicles would be inspected by a commercial garage every two months, the Commissioners decided to take no action, but Mr Crabtree said that when 0licences come into force they would not approve Mr Russell's present arrangements. Effectively that gave him six months to find suitable operating premises.
