Public Inquiries
This is a type of court hearing held by a Traffic Commissioner. You can be called to a Public Inquiry if you hold a goods vehicle or PSV operator’s licence, or are making an application to be granted a licence or vary the conditions of a licence. At the Inquiry, the Traffic Commissioner will wish to explore any concerns they have about you, or the way your Operators licence is being managed. Additionally they may explore the performance of the Transport Manager and any driver that has breached the drivers regulations and entitlement to drive either LGVs or PSVs.
