Road Traffic Act 1960

136 Revocation and suspension of road service licences

(1) A road service licence may be revoked or suspended by the traffic commissioners who granted the licence on the ground that any condition subject to which the licence was granted has not been complied with:

Provided that the commissioners shall not revoke or suspend a road service licence unless, owing to the frequency of the breach of conditions on the part of the licensee, or to the breach having been committed wilfully, or to the danger to the public involved in the breach, the commissioners are satisfied that the licence should be revoked or suspended.

(2) On revoking or suspending a road service licence the traffic commissioners shall send notice thereof to the chief officer of police of every police district in which the service to which the licence relates was provided and (except where the revoking or suspending authority is the commissioner for the Metropolitan Traffic Area) to every local authority in England or Wales, and every county and town council in Scotland, in whose area that service was provided.

(3) A road service licence suspended under this section shall during the time of suspension be of no effect.
