Quality licensing

1) System of governmental control (ie licensing) of goods vehicle operations based on 'quality' concept - namely, where primary concern is for safe and legal operation rather than any other criteria (see quantity licensing below).

In practice, in the UK (and supposedly the rest of the EU), it specifically means the licence applicant/holder being a fit person to run goods vehicles (ie of good repute), financially capable of operating the vehicles legally and safely (ie of appropriate financial standing) and having sufficient knowledge of legal/business/operational matters to comply with the law, etc (ie being professionally competent). This form of licensing is sometimes looked upon as 'deregulation' and is frowned upon in some quarters (including USA, South Africa and Canada where there have been mass protests) because it does not provide the protection of a closed industry - basically any Tom, Dick or Harry can start up with a lorry if he has a little money and can pass a simple examination.
