Driver Conduct Hearing Support
Protect Your Professional Driving Career with Expert Representation If you’ve been summoned to a Driver Conduct Hearing by the Traffic Commissioner, the outcome could significantly impact your livelihood. These hearings are held to assess whether a professional driver remains fit to hold a vocational licence (Category C, C+E, D, D+E). We provide dedicated support to help you prepare, respond, and represent yourself professionally-giving you the best chance of preserving your licence and reputation.
What Is a Driver Conduct Hearing?
A Driver Conduct Hearing is a formal process led by the Traffic Commissioner to review the conduct of LGV and PCV drivers. You may be called to a hearing due to:
Driving convictions (e.g. speeding, drink-driving, mobile phone use)
Tachograph offences or falsified records
Driver hours breaches or Working Time Directive violations
Roadside prohibitions or vehicle defects
DVSA reports or police referrals
The Commissioner will assess whether your actions show a lack of professionalism or pose risks to road safety.
What’s at Stake?
Following a Driver Conduct Hearing, the outcomes can include:
Revocation of your vocational licence
Temporary suspension (weeks or months)
Formal warnings or undertakings
Requirement to attend retraining (e.g. Driver CPC refreshers)
Even a warning can affect your employment prospects-especially with larger or audited operators.
