Figures released by CFC Solutions show the importance of driving licence checks. One in five company car drivers whose licences passed through the CFC Licence Link programme, last November were found to have penalty points, a figure which has now fallen to one in seven. The very fact of carrying out such licence checks can have a beneficial effect, as CFC Managing Director Neville Briggs explained: “What fleet managers are saying to us is that the process of checking makes drivers face up to the consequences of having points on their licence. This is especially true of drivers who already have points and fall into higher risk categories. For the driver, licence checking hits home the fact that there is a direct link between how you behave behind the wheel of your company vehicle and how you are perceived by your employer – and even whether you keep your job if you lose your licence.”
