It is imperative that organisations carry out adequate Driving Licence Checks for all employees that drive on company business. This not only protects the company from a legal perspective, but also covers their duty of care obligations.

 

Visual checks of photo-card driving licences are not enough to protect companies from prosecution should the employee be found driving unlawfully. 

 

The DVLA online licence check provides the employer with a full breakdown of the employee’s current driving entitlement which includes details of any current motoring convictions, driving disqualifications, number of penalty points and driving vehicle entitlements; giving companies complete peace of mind.
