USING A VEHICLE without an excise licence and allowing it to be driven by an unqualified driver cost a London company £700 in fines, costs and back duty.
Chequers Lane Site Services, of Eton House.Chequers Lane, Dagenham, Essex pleaded guilty before Barking magistrates to using a vehicle with no tax in force and to permitting a driver to drive when not licensed to do so. It was fined £100, and ordered to pay back duty of £100 and prosecution costs of £500.
Anthony Ostrin, prosecuting for the Vehicle and Operator Services Agency,told the court that a tipper belonging to the company had been stopped at a road check at Cook Road, Dagenham.
There was no tax disc on display and subsequent enquiries indicated that the vehicle's excise licence had expired more than two months before the date of the check. Further enquiries were made and it was established that the driver of the vehicle did not have a driving licence for that class of vehicle.
For the company, Paul Mason said that after the vehicle had previously been taxed there was a change of ownership of the business and the matter was overlooked.The driver had left the scene in the middle of the examination by the enforcement officers. He had not been seen again and it was assumed that he had returned to his home in Ireland.
