A year apx ago I was given a 774 apx fine ( magistrates court ) and then was issued with a caution by carlisle area traffic commissioner , ( offence of false recording , 1 offence was apx 2 years ago )
So sent application in for new lisense as due for 5 year renewal , after 6 weeks ive spoken to eastern area t/o ( dvsa said to speak to them as my lisense is with them and dvsa can’t proceed with my lisense until they hear from them ) , now women I spoke to said the women who deals with these things isn’t in so she’d take my details , she took them including details of fine / caution .
She then said be prepared to come before the traffic commissioner and have a chat with him about offence and be prepared for a possible suspension of your lisense .
Now am I wrong thinking that ive been tried by magistrates court , ive been dealt with by traffic commissioner , caution that should be the end of the matter unless I re- offend again 
But I’m being told by a different traffic area I may have to go before there traffic commissioner and have my lisense suspended for a offence than another traffic commissioner deemed that I didn’t need to come before them , and just issued a caution , no suspension .
So basically can you be tried twice by different traffic areas for the same offence ? ( Id personally think not but it’s looking likely I can )
Nb I am getting a solicitor involved as this is starting to go way above my understanding of things but thought someone could give me a nights sleep by just answering can you be tried twice for the same offence , ta

It’s good that you’re getting a solicitor involved, but the easy answer to the bit you’ve put is that a TC doesn’t “try” you.
A court does the trying (or you plead guilty) then you get whatever’s coming from the court.
It has been the case for as long as I can remember (= back to the mid 70s) that a TC can take any of the various actions open to them, which are quite separate to any penalty imposed by a court.
You have a vocational licence, so it’s your responsibility to know/understand the ongoing conditions attached to it.
I’d like to wish you good luck if you end up having to go to a PI. 
Thanks dave for your support 
, well it turns out you can’t be tried twice , spoke to the right person ( it’s taken nigh on 6 weeks ) and she said I will ring you back in 5 mins after explaining situation to her , good as her word she rang back in no time at all , in her words this has already been dealt with , you recieved a caution , ive notified dvsa there is no more action required and if you’ve not heard from them by end of week re- your lisense ring them .
So dvla should now be processing my lisense ( let’s hope they don’t find anything wrong with the medical side 
)
Nb as for you can carry on driving with a what ever number form , well not according to the t/c office you can’t , I asked her this and she said as I’d been told before , you’re Hgv entitlement ceased on the 26/3/18 , until that is processed / renewed you cannot drive a Hgv ( maybe if it’s a medical issue you can , Ive no idea ) , but in my case until the lisense is renewed by dvsa I cant
Any way fingers crossed it’s sorted , ta
