Holding a valid driving licence is a certain pre-requisite prior to allowing any individual the use of a company owned vehicle. Be it for legal or insurance purposes, each company will have a system in place to check such licences. Unfortunately many rely upon primitive photocopies or scans of both the card and paper portions of the licence, to be filed away, rarely to be seen again. How do you truly know that the documents provided are accurate? Simply, you don’t – but place your trust in the individual as he or she passes responsibility for this check over on provision of such documents. This is often a business process overlooked, until the importance becomes clear... often too late, with grave consequences.

Potential Disqualifications

Many exclusions to the validity of a licence are clear, most commonly the collection of too many points, as well as driving under the influence of alcohol or drugs or excluded through ill health, including eyesight, mental deficiencies, or disabilities. Other less common exclusions are often overlooked, such as previous insurance offences, unlawful pillion riding, or even motor racing on the high street. Although many are common offences, as some individuals may hide offences held on their licences.
