Legal compliance - It's a legal requirement for companies to check that their drivers have the correct licence to drive the vehicles they're using.
Risk reduction - Checking licences can help identify drivers who are ineligible to drive, have penalty points or are working in high-risk roles.
Insurance - Company vehicles policies often include a clause about licence verification, and failing to comply may result in a claim being refused.
Legal consequences - If a driver without a valid licence causes an incident, the company could face criminal proceedings and costly fines.
Risk management - Data from licence checks can be used to develop your risk management strategy.
