Which of the following most accurately describes the problem?

for the fourth time using a vehicle without an Operator's Licence has been fined the maximum £2,500 by Bolton Magistrates. Wideflex, trading as Nortons, of Miles Platting, admitted the offence.

DOT traffic examiner Karen Farr said a two-axled rigid vehi cle carrying woodblocks, strapping and sheeting was stopped in a roadside check in Bolton last October. No 0-licence identity disc was being displayed.

The driver, Anthony Wade, had said he was employed by Nortons and was en route from Darwen where he had delivered polystyrene and cement on behalf of his employer for Hall & Rogers of Manchester. Wade had produced two delivery notes which confirmed his statement.

When Widefiex director Brian Quinn was interviewed he had confirmed that the company did not hold an 0-licence.

Farr pointed out that the company had been fined a total of £2,110 by magistrates in South Ribble, Penrith and Trafford for similar offences in February and October 1996 and December 1997.
