Given the repeated and serious compliance failures, lack of transparency, and disregard for regulatory requirements, the Traffic Commissioner's decision to revoke the licence and disqualify both appellants for seven years was proportionate and justified. The absence of a finding of 'fronting' did not mitigate the seriousness of the other aggravating features.
