Engaging your driver and understanding the pitfalls when you get it wrong – 24 September 2025

In November 2023, the Traffic Commissioner came to a decision that clarified the position around the use of drivers and what could be considered inappropriate.

It is clear that Traffic Commissioners will scrutinise the way in which you engage your drivers, including agency arrangements, to establish whether your approach can be considered inappropriate, anti-competitive, highly questionable or even a sham.

Over 90-minutes we will guide you through a process to assess your operation and identify any areas of risk.

The training will cover:

Why non-directly employed drivers can present a risk

An easy to follow step-by-step risk assessment process

Explaining the areas of risk

Mitigating the risk to your business and operator’s licence
