Experience a realistic Mock Traffic Commissioner Public Inquiry

We’re pleased to invite you to a unique and invaluable event: The Mock Traffic Commissioner Public Inquiry taking place on Friday, 12 June, at Titanic Hotel, Liverpool.

Why attend?

This exclusive free to attend event offers transport managers, fleet directors, and transport professionals a rare opportunity to witness a simulated Traffic Commissioner’s Public Inquiry in a safe, engaging, and educational environment.

What to expect:

  • Realism: Experience a meticulously designed mock inquiry featuring real-life operators playing key roles, including drivers and transport managers. 
  • Expert insight: The event is crafted by Weightmans’ specialist road transport regulatory lawyers, who bring years of experience from real public inquiries nationwide. 
  • Practical knowledge: Gain essential insights into the public inquiry process, including the types of questions asked and the evidence required.

The scenario: 

A fictitious fleet operator is under review by the Traffic Commissioner, with concerns raised about aspects of their fleet operations. A mock Public Inquiry will explore these issues and determine whether the company can be trusted to comply in the future and in accordance with the licensing regime.

Issues to be addressed: 

  • Multiple near-miss events involving the HGV fleet which then results in a fatal incident and the death of another road user. 
  • HSE investigation and subsequent prosecution and criminal conviction. 
  • An unsatisfactory DVSA/police compliance visit. 
  • Testimony from a former driver as a hostile witness.

Potential consequences: 

Failing to comply with licence conditions may result in revocation, suspension, or curtailment of an operator’s licence - these are serious matters that could impact your business and operations.
