Driving licence management and verification

All employers need to ensure that any employee that is required to drive on behalf of that company is licensed and entitled to drive.

A visual driving licence check once a year is not enough. Things can change very quickly and licence details should be verified with DVLA at least twice a year.

According to statistics from DVLA:

22% of drivers are using out of date documents

1 million drivers in the UK are just 3 points away from a disqualification

Around 250,000 drivers are disqualified every year
