DVSA & OTC Correspondence

Get Expert Advice Before Escalation

If you’re receiving letters or calls from the Office of the Traffic Commissioner (OTC) or the DVSA which remain unresolved, you may have misunderstood the content or what you are required to provide. This can place you at risk of formal enforcement action — including a Public Inquiry.

At C E Transport Law, we help HGV operators across the UK respond effectively to regulatory correspondence, protect their operator licences, and avoid unnecessary hearings. There are a number of standard letters you might receive from the Traffic Commissioners office to include:

 

  1. Propose to Revoke
  2. Propose to Refuse
  3. RFE (Request further Evidence)
  4. Loss of Transport Manager

If you are unsure how to reply to a DVSA request for further evidence — we can help.

Common Situations We Advise On

  • Letters from the OTC proposing to revoke or refuse your operator’s licence
  • Repeated or unclear correspondence where you’re unsure how to respond
  • Lack of progress despite replying to requests from the Traffic Commissioner
  • DVSA requests for documents, records, or interviews under caution
  • Uncertainty over whether a request is compulsory or voluntary
  • Threats of further enforcement or Public Inquiry

Many operators come to us after trying to manage correspondence on their own. Often, a lack of clarity or miscommunication leads to escalation. Early legal advice can make all the difference.
