Which of the following most accurately describes the problem?

A FORMER traveller whose vehicle was impounded in February has been granted an 0-licence after it was established that he had permission to use his operating centre and that there was enough money in his bank account.

St Helens-based scrap dealer Danny Lock was seeking a one-vehicle restricted licence from North Western Deputy Traffic Commissioner Mark Hinchliffe.At an earlier hearing Lock had said his 14-year-old son helped him with the paperwork. He had been using trucks all his life and had never had an 0-licence, He had received nothing from Vosa when the impounded vehicle was sold for £2,600 (CM 23 August).

When the hearing resumed, the DTC said he had a letter giving Lock permission for his new vehicle to be kept at a caravan park; a driver's defect reporting book; and evidence that Lock had paid £2,000 into his bank account, giving a balance of £3,600.

Lock undertook to maintain his bank current account with a credit balance of at least £3,000 to be used only in maintenance emergencies and then quickly brought back to that level, He also promised that safety inspections would be planned and recorded. They would not be more than 12 weeks apart and would be handled by an outside contractor.

After the DTC had reminded Lock of the undertakings in the licence application form, Lock said he had his word that everything would be done right.

Granting the application, the DTC told Lock:"Now at last you are legal."
