Stay Ahead of Licence Compliance

Our fleet management system connects directly to the DVLA and works seamlessly with your fleet tool, including vehicle tracking and job management. You'll know right away if your employees are legally allowed to drive company vehicles.

Choose how often to check each driver based on risk, whether that's once a year or every few months. It’s a smarter, more efficient way to manage compliance without adding to your admin load.

Available on desktop and through our mobile app for easy access wherever you work.

Why Regular Licence Checks Are Essential

If a driver collects too many points, they could be disqualified from driving. This not only affects their job but also puts your business at risk if they continue to drive.

Speeding, mobile phone use and other offences can lead to fines and penalty points. These points stay on a driver’s record for four to eleven years, depending on the offence. If a driver reaches twelve points in three years, they can be banned from driving.

What this means for your business:

  • You must make sure employees can legally drive company vehicles
  • If they can't drive but continue to, your business could face legal action
  • Insurance might not pay out if an unlicensed driver has an accident
  • You could be fined for not checking your drivers properly

Smarter, Flexible Check Scheduling

Not all drivers carry the same risk, and your licence checks shouldn’t treat them the same either. Our system lets you adjust the check frequency for each employee:

  • High-risk drivers (e.g. with previous offences) can be checked every 2–3 months
  • Low-risk drivers can be set to annual checks
  • You’re always in control, with updates made easy via your dashboard

This flexible setup keeps your costs down and your compliance up to date.

Licence Checks That Save Time and Reduce Risk

Manual licence checks can be time-consuming and easy to get wrong, especially if you're managing a large fleet. Our automated system handles everything for you, helping you save time and avoid risk.

Here’s why businesses switch to automation:

  • Manual checks take 20–30 minutes per driver
  • DVLA website can be slow and inconsistent
  • Manual data entry increases the chance of errors
  • Our system delivers results in under 30 seconds
  • Secure, GDPR-compliant data handling

Your Legal Duty to Check Driver Licences

As an employer, you’re legally responsible for making sure your drivers are qualified and safe to drive. Regular licence checks help you stay compliant with key UK laws:

  • Health and Safety at Work Act 1974 – You must protect employees and others when they drive for work.
  • Road Traffic Act 1988 – It’s illegal for anyone to drive without a valid licence. If they do, your business could be held liable.
  • HSE Guidance – The Health and Safety Executive recommends regular licence checks as part of managing road risk.

Using an automated system helps you meet these responsibilities while reducing admin and risk.
