A GB provisional driving licence contains the same information as a full licence. The letter ‘L’ displayed on the provisional driving licence has been placed by the DVLA since September 1999 on all GB provisional licences and confirms the holder is a learner driver.
As a business, it’s essential that you are aware of your employee’s driving licence status if they are required to drive a vehicle within working hours. Driver Check provides an online portal service to instantly check your employee’s driver licence, ensuring that you are aware of any compliance issues and be confident that they are road legal, protecting both the business and members of your team.
At the same time, if you run a business wherein employees drive their own vehicle in company time, it’s essential to check that they are abiding by the legal requirements – this is known as a ‘grey fleet’ vehicle check.
