o Mr. H. R. Featherstone, FTA director. advised the Association's Merseyside and North Wales division in Liverpool on Tuesday that when operators applied for their licences they should also apply for a margin to provide for the foreseeable future. There was certain to be a delay in obtaining further vehicles under -0" licensing, as he called it.
On drivers' hours, Mr. Featherstone said that to make sure rest periods were not counted in the working hours the driver must leave his vehicle while resting. He must also have no responsibility towards the vehicle during that time.
If an operator was engaging a new driver he should ask for written proof that the driver had driven regularly for the preceding six months. This would be advisable in the light of heavy goods vehicle licences.
Mr. Featherstone said that he could not envisage the transport manager's licence being introduced until 1971.
