How many Driving licence checks should you do?
We recommend that drivers licences should be checked twice annually for all employees who drive on company business and not just those who have been allocated a permanent company cars. We recommend that you increase the number of checks where drivers are at a greater risk of losing their licence. Licences should also be checked for:
- New Starters / Pre employment
- Occasional car drivers (hire car and pool car drivers)
- Anyone using their own vehicle on company business
