FT/D/2025/0451/FPP - [2025] UKFTT 01248 (GRC)

The Registrar was concerned that the Appellant did not meet the fit and proper Person criteria for the reasons set out in the statement of case and which they continued to rely upon.

The Appellant has a total of 6 penalty points on their driving licence relating to two separate incidents spread between 2023 and 2024. Whilst the Appellant has made representations as regards these speeding incidents those representations do not mitigate nor excuse the fact that the speed limit was broken.

The Appellant is someone who has previously held the role of ADI, and who following that had for a number of years held a role in the ADI Enforcement team supervising ADI compliance. He therefore is even more aware than most ADIs of the necessity for ADIs to have the skills and commitment to ensure their driving remains within the bounds of the law at all times.

The standards and concern for road safety of a ADI are required to be higher than those expected of a normal motorist, and so it is submitted that the decision to not enter the Appellant on to the Register is correct.
