Fareham based Victory Travel and its sole Director Paul Donald are disqualified indefinitely from holding or obtaining a PSV O licence, after Traffic Commissioner (TC) Kevin Rooney immediately revoked the company’s six vehicle licence.
In addition he disqualified Mr Donald indefinitely from acting as a Transport Manager (TM).
The company, of Cranleigh Road, Fareham, failed to attend a Bristol Public Inquiry (PI).
The TC said that the “breadth and seriousness of the shortcomings,” affecting all management systems and producing potentially lethal results, meant that Victory Travel and Paul Donald had forfeited their good repute and that more than just mere revocation was necessary to safeguard public safety.
It followed adverse maintenance investigations by the DVSA; the failure to deal with the shortcomings; a wheel loss on the M3 in November 2016; failure to manage drivers hours, breaking broke guidelines about the transport of football supporters.
