How often does your organisation check driving licences?
Many employers verify licences when someone joins the business, but what happens after that?
Regular licence checks can help organisations identify changes in driver entitlement, endorsements and other potential risks before they become a bigger issue.
A risk-based approach to licence checking is an important part of managing driving-for-work compliance and protecting both your employees and your organisation.
We've put together a short article explaining best practice and common mistakes to avoid.

By 1 July 2026, most vans and light goods vehicles between 2,501 kg and 3,500 kg used for commercial international journeys must be fitted with and use a Smart Tachograph 2.

This requirement applies to any vehicle carrying goods for commercial purposes within this maximum permissible mass range (including any trailer), unless the following two conditions are met – the journey is carried out on an own account basis (i.e. transporting your own goods) and driving is not the driver’s main activity, or another specific exemption applies.

Many organisations don’t think they operate a fleet because they don’t provide company vehicles.

But if employees drive their own cars for work, that’s often considered a grey fleet — and it can create important responsibilities around driver safety, insurance and driving-for-work compliance.

We’ve created a short article explaining what grey fleet is, why it matters and some common risks organisations overlook.

At FleetMentor, we believe fleet safety is about more than vehicles, compliance, and telematics.

It’s about people.

This we encourage you to remember that behind every steering wheel is someone balancing work, family, stress, pressure, and life.

For Drivers:
✔ Take a breath before responding with anger on the roads
✔ Give space instead of escalating
✔ Remember that everyone makes mistakes
✔ Focus on arriving safely, not “winning” the moment
✔ Show patience — it could change someone’s day

For fleet managers:
✔ Check in with drivers
✔ Create open conversations
✔ Recognise the signs of struggle
✔ Build a culture where asking for help is supported

A bit of empathy goes a long way on the roads.
