It is an offence to operate heavy goods vehicles for hire and reward or for business purposes without holding the appropriate operator’s licence. This offence carries a fine of up to £5,000 and unauthorised use of goods vehicles is a matter which will be taken very seriously by the Traffic Commissioner. Operators can often commit this offence without realising, for example following the transfer from sole trader status to limited company status where the question of a new licence application is overlooked. Offences can also be committed where operators fail to observe conditions which have been attached to their licence.
