• Haulier Stephen Summers, trading as Summers Transport, has been fined £200 for allowing another haulier to use one of his 0-licence identity discs.
When he appeared before Birmingham City Magistrates Summers, of Stourport on Severn, pleaded guilty to aiding and abetting Simon Parkes of Southport to operate a vehicle without the authority of an 0-licence. He was also fined £200 for using a vehicle without a licence.
Summers held a licence for three vehicles and had three vehicles in possession. Summers said that when he was approached by Parkes he thought it would be all right to let him use the disc. He would not have allowed him to do so if he had thought he was breaking the law. In a letter to the court, Parkes' solicitors said that he had no intention of doing wrong.
