The importance of companies checking the validity of employees driving licences has been underlined with the Licence Bureau highlighting seven ineligible drivers while completing 500 checks in one day.
The Licence Bureau, the licence checking partner of leading contract hire and leasing company ALD Automotive, says many companies pay little attention to checking the validity of the driving licences of staff. Ensuring that all drivers have a valid licence and are legal to drive on business should be a key feature of all corporate occupational road risk policies.
It is calculated that there are up to one million drivers on the road without a valid driving licence and the department for Transport and the DVLA estimates these drivers are nine times more likely to be involved in an accident than a qualified licence holder.
