Agri merchant saves licence by getting its ad together

ANAGRICI ;LTURAL merchant narrowly avoided revocation by demonstrating it had taken several steps to correct systems failures that led to a five-year initial failure at annual test of nearly 80%.
However, two of the firm's vehicles which had been given prohibitions for missing ISO cables have been suspended from its licence for seven days.
Market Weighton-based David Cox had been called before the North Eastern Traffic CommissionerTom Macartney at a Leeds disciplinary inquiry. Cox holds a licence for four vehicles and eight trailers and was seeking to change his operating centre.
Vehicle examiner David Littlewood said that he had carried out a maintenance investigation in May after a bad test failure of a trailer. He inspected two vehicles and six trailers imposing three delayed prohibitions to trailers. The initial failure rate at annual test over the last five years was 77.78%. There had since been a delayed serious prohibition for a missing ISO cable and a variation notice when a trailer was produced for prohibition clearance. An unauthorised operating centre had been used for a long time despite advice in 1998 and 2004 that Cox needed to vary his licence.
Cox said that things had gone astray due to a series of personal problems. A number of investigations by various authorities, including Customs & Excise and the Inland Revenue, had come to nothing.
He was now an RHA member. Vehicles and trailers were now given multi-cheeks every six months, one being immediately before annual test.An engineering consultant now carried out system audits and training. A conviction for driving for more than 4.5 hours arose when he was delayed by roadworks and heavy traffic. Tachograph charts were analysed by the RHA.
Asked about the two prohibitions for missing ISO cables. Cox said that his drivers were now aware that a repeat offence meant instant dismissal.
The TC granted the change of operating centre after being given a series of undertakings.
