Which of the following most accurately describes the problem?

Transpor t solicitor Stephen Kirkbright (right) is urging Traffic Commissioners to exercise tighter finance requirements on new 0 licence applicants to drive out "phoenix" operators who crash under dubious financial circumstances and then set up under a new name. "Finance should be at the absolute core of the 0-licence system," he says. "It should be the principle reason for 0-licence disqualification—not the last". Kirkbright believes that when phoenix companies apply for a licence under a new name Traffic Commissioners should study a receiver or liquidator's report on the applicant's old company.

Financial advisors' powers should also be extended to giving TCs financial advice beyond the current maintenance issue, he adds, and notices in newspapers and Applications & Decisions should have to make it clear that the new operation is a phoenix company.
