Ignorance to the facts will not be a good stance to take if your systems fail to the point that you are called in to a Public Inquiry and have to face a Traffic Commissioner. Goods Vehicle Operator Licences are frequently revoked, curtailed or suspended, all on the backing of an issue that could have been highlighted and rectified following a full systems audit.
