Driving documentation checks

All employees who drive on council business must record details of their driving licence and vehicles on Business World. This verifies that they are legally able to drive for us. 

Employees can log on to check their driving licence details on GOV.uk

Employees must confirm, and provide documents to evidence, that they: 

  • hold a current driving licence 
  • have a current and valid MOT on their vehicle 
  • have current road tax on their vehicle 
  • have current vehicle insurance cover which includes appropriate business travel 
  • declare any health issues that may affect their ability to drive 
  • declare any points or convictions received  

For information on driving safety, employees must read G31 driver assessment toolkit.
