We can check licences with DVLA as a service to our customers now - £10 per time and frequency is decided by the number of points on each licence - 9 or more and we check quarterly. No more handing over a clean duplicate licence while extra points, bans etc got on the original.
Corporate Manslaughter and other Health & Safety worries mean that in future very few employers are going to want to run the risk of allowing a banned driver to operate a vehicle on company business.
