Carl Baxter, who attacked a cyclist and his daughter, has repute considered HAULAGE boss and transport manager Carl Baxter,jailed after a vicious road rage attack on a cyclist and his four-year-old daughter, looks set to lose his repute.
Baxter's firm, a Market Weighton-based partnership trading as Brian Baxter & Sons Hauliers, is now involved in disciplinary proceedings with the North Eastern Traffic Commissioner Tom Macartney and, as CPC holder, Baxter faces serious questions following the incident and subsequent trial.
A Leeds hearing late last month was adjourned in order to allow the disgraced haulier to attend and give his version of events.
Baxter was sentenced to two years in jail at Hull Crown Court in March after pleading guilty to two counts of grievous bodily harm and one of dangerous driving.
The court heard that Baxter smashed into cyclist Stephen Kerwin and his daughter Emily in his Range Rover after Kerwin remonstrated with him for driving too close to them. Emily lost five teeth and suffered fractures to her face and palate, and her father was left with a broken leg and pelvis after Baxter reversed into them at high speed.
Brian Baxter said that Carl's role had been to do all the paperwork and organisation and to secure the work,"the businessman in the business". As a result of the publicity surrounding the court case, they lost a £500,000 contract with Rugby Cement and they had had to sell their specialised tank trailers at a loss of £30,000, he said.
Tracking devices were now fitted and the RHA was to carry out tacho analysis.
TheTC said:"The mountain that has got to be climbed is the question of Carl Baxter's repute," and hinted he was unlikely to retain it. However, it would be unfair if the rest of the firm were to lose their livelihood as a result, he added.
Brian Baxter promised to apply for a fresh licence in his own name within 14 days. The TC then adjourned the hearing until later this month.
