THE 0-LICENCE FOR two vehicles and two trailers, which was held by Dunfermline-based James McNabb has been revoked by Joan Aitken, the Scottish Traffic Commissioner.
In addition, the TC suspended his LGV driving entitlement for a period of four weeks.
The TC was informed that McNabb was currently operating only one vehicle.
However, the findings of an investigation demonstrated that tachograph records had been falsified and that other drivers' hours offences had also been committed.
One of the most serious aspects, though, was that McNabb was not keeping a continuous record of his driving activities, meaning that he was hiding daily rest offences. McNabb also used his cousin's name on a chart when it was actually he who was driving.
It was only after the traffic examiners interviewed his cousin that he admitted the falsification.
McNabb said he had lost his transport manager and that the licence was now operated as a partnership — the problems occurred during a particularly difficult period in his life.
Revoking the licence, the TC said there was an accumulation of adverse matters. She warned that McNabb's repute was severely tarnished in relation to the falsifications and attempt to pervert the course of justice.
In relation to McNabb's HGV driving licence entitlement, the TC said that a driver's personal circumstances were not matters to which she should have regard.
McNabb had been a danger to himself and other road users in the falsification of his chart and the breaches of drivels' hours.
