Licence checking conundrum
Date: 31 October 2007
Tristan Young is Editor-in-chief of BusinessCar
Investigating the EU licence checking (BusinessCar.co.uk/licencecheck) story threw up a scary fact. It's not just fleets that can't check licences - the police, too, are unable to check a foreign driving licence if they stop a driver at the side of the road.
The Association for Chief Police Officers said that although there was an EU agreement to supply information to fill a database for checking lorries, only the UK, Germany and Holland complied.
If you've had any problems with this I'd love to hear from you - particularly if you have any possible solutions. Contact me through BusinessCar.co.uk/licencecheck.
