"It is an offence for a person to cause or permit another person to drive on a road, a motor vehicle of any class, if that other person is not the holder of a licence authorising them to drive a motor vehicle of that class."
How sure are you that all your drivers hold the correct valid ‘Entitlements & Licence’ to drive on any type of company business?
