Anthony Ostrin,prosecuting for VOSA, said traffic examiner Anne Webb had checked a vehicle operated byTaylor loaded with concrete residue.The 0-licence identity disc appeared to he still in force.
However, Webb made enquiries with the Eastern Traffic Area and discovered that Taylor's 0-licence had been revoked by the Traffic Commissioner and that she was currently disqualified from holding or obtaining an 0-licence. When interviewed,Taylor said she had a contract with Tarmac but had failed to take out the licence disc from the vehicle. Ostrin pointed out that the disc should have been returned to the Traffic Office when the licence was revoked.
Taylor said that following her licence revocation she had read an advertisement in the trade press indicating that licences were for sale to operators who did not have a licence. She applied and paid over £1,000 for such a licence, thinking it was legal. However, this was not the disc displayed on her impounded vehicle.
