Why monitor this register?
Commercial operators need a valid O-licence to run goods or passenger vehicles legally. The Traffic Commissioner publishes changes to licences, curtailments and disciplinary action.
Registry Radar tracks operator licensing on Fleet Watches alongside MOT and DVLA records for each vehicle.
