Operators should not just check drivers’ licences periodically if they are to mitigate as much risk as possible, says Richard Brown, MD of Licence Check.
Doing so doesn’t address those drivers that may be a risk but have yet to be convicted. “They will cost the business as much if they have an accident caused by their behaviour as a driver with points.
“A number of applications use a smartphone to monitor driver conduct in real time, flagging up those deemed to be at risk.”
