Employee Driving Records

Driving Records - Employment Screening

Driving Record Reports can help determine a Sense of Responsibility

Driving record checks can help employers protect their business, minimize insurance costs and possible future litigation from accidents by running these reports before allowing employees to drive company vehicles or during business hours.

Employers may not think that it is necessary to run driving record checks on employees that do not drive company vehicles, however, it can still be a useful tool. A good driving record can be an indicator as to the employee’s sense of responsibility. Motor Vehicle Reports as Driving Records are referred to in the industry provide employers with ticket, alcohol & drug offense information as well as information on accidents.

Employees with driving records where points have been deducted due to a large amount of tickets, accidents, arrests or drug and alcohol offenses could be an indicator that the person in question would carry that behavior into the work place. Businesses may not want to take such a risk.

Emergency Services - Where Driving Record Reports are Essential

When it comes to ambulances and other emergency vehicles, one would think that only people perfect driving records would be allowed behind the wheel of these vehicles. Unfortunately, that is not the case. A recent study found that 41% of ambulance accidents involved a driver with a bad driving history. What makes this more shocking is that only 7% of all drivers are considered to have a bad driving record.

Looking at the numbers above, it should be clear that running driving records should be essential for emergency services, not just during the pre-employment background check phase, but also during their time with the company.

Litigation

Should an accident occur and lead to a lawsuit, it is important to know that the driving record of the drivers involved can be obtained to use in the lawsuit. Companies that failed to do their due diligence before allowing drivers to use company vehicles may be at larger risk of being held responsible for the driver’s actions.
