A company vehicle crashed by a driver whose licence does not qualify him to drive it will invalidate the company’s insurance policy. This will mean serious damage to company finances as well as its vehicle.
Ignorance is no defence, nor is holding a copy of the driver’s licence.
Driver licence permissions and exclusions are complicated and not always clear to the non-expert. It is all too easy for a busy fleet manager to allow a driver to take out a vehicle they are not entitled to drive in error. Faked or borrowed driver licences may deceive them. They could have a medical condition that is mentioned on the licence, but the code is not understood.
A-Class driver licence checks can ensure that these problems are avoided
- We will check the driver’s licence details direct with DVLA records and confirm their legal entitlements.
- We will repeat these driver licence checks at least every six months to ensure their continued legality
We can carry out these driver licence checks for you by using our account with the DVLA and our own A-Class Driver Training computer based driver licence management system which tracks licence check requirements. We will make sure that you are fully up to date with any changes that might affect the deployment of your drivers.
