Two separate overloading cases posted by Liverpool licensing over the last couple of days.
Obviously unusual, but the latter case involving a local HC earned the driver eight points and nearly £800 in fines and costs.
The direct financial cost to the Sefton PHD is a lot less, but also six month driving ban, and he'd also been plying for hire
I'd guess he had points already, but perhaps someone could advise...
