Driver Licence Checks
Driver Licence Checks
Why this is important
Responsibilities as Fleet Manager
Fleet managers must verify that all drivers, including professional and company drivers, hold valid licenses. This duty of care protects the company in case of accidents, given that road accidents are a leading cause of workplace fatalities.
Legal Obligations
Regular license checks are mandated by laws such as Germany’s Road Traffic Act § 21 StVG. Non-compliance can lead to legal and insurance issues, as employers are liable if drivers are found without valid licenses.
