(b)as a result, users of roads in Great Britain have suffered loss, damage, inconvenience or annoyance.

(3)Subsection (2) does not apply if it appears to the Secretary of State that the commission of the traffic infraction was wholly caused by a failure of a licensed no-user-in-charge operator to comply with a requirement under operator licensing regulations.

(4)A redress notice is a notice requiring the person to whom it is issued to take such actions within subsection (5) as are specified in the notice.
