Implementing Regular Driver Licence Checks
All companies should regularly check the driving licences of any employee who drives for them on company business or drives a company vehicle. This is to ensure that the employee is entitled to drive and holds a valid licence.
Checking a driver’s licence once a year may not be often enough, points for speeding can be accrued very quickly. For companies with a large number of employees/drivers checking each licence manually against the DVLA database can be an onerous task.
Descartes SmartLicence is a simple to use online solution that allows organisations to assess the risk of each licensed driver and automatically conduct regular checks with the DVLA in accordance with that risk.
If a driver collects speeding or driving infringements the associated points on their driving licence will increase the frequency of the automated checks with the DVLA automatically increased
Once set up SmartLicence runs automatically in the background and gives you the tools to focus on any problem drivers and mitigate the risk of increased insurance premiums or losing drivers due to a totting up of points or something more serious.
SmartLicence – Driving licence checker
While checking one driver's licence is easy with the DVLA, checking many licences on a regular basis can be a time consuming job. Automatically check licences on an increasing frequency depending upon a driver's risk. Avoid fines and breaking the law.
