Absolutely sure, it states 'to be heard before Grimsby and Cleethorpes Magistrates'.
But that is normal procedure for lorry drivers. First the case is heard and you are fined by the court and then you have to face the Traffic Commisioner to explain why you didn't act in a professional manner and take their punishment as well.
He won't get a brief, he knows he's guilty and will just admit to the charges.
IIH, I thought that may be the case, that I wouldn't be allowed to speak for him that was why I needed to ask thie question.
I really do fail to see why though since I presume I would be under oath anyway.
