AS an operator of a substantial fleet, Mr. P. Strain, Newtonstewart, should know better than to break the law, the Scottish Licensing Authority, Mr. W. F. Quin, said at Glasgow on Tuesday. Further breaches might entail revocation of licences.
Mr. Strain was called before Mr. Quin regarding an application for a contract-A licence. Mr. A. MacKenzie, on his behalf, said previous convictions took place some years ago. They related to a vehicle run in Mr. Strain's name before its take-over had been completed and to the use of a vehicle in substitution when not authorized.
The present application to put a 3-1-ton vehicle on contract with West Cumberland Farmers, Ltd., had been held up through delays in his own office. The contract was signed in April, but was not sent to the Licensing Authority because the registration book was not available until July. It was then decided to obtain a new contract, but this came back with a wrong signature, and further delay was caused by holidays. Meanwhile, Mr. Strain, thinking the application was practically granted, operated the vehicle.
Granting the contract application, Mr. Quin said there was no reflection on West Cumberland Farmers.
