Speak to your boss about it. To cover you he could just tell all employees that the company needs to update everyones driving records and that all employees are required to bring in their driving licence in order to be 'authorised' to drive.

This should be done every year anyway as best practice.

Ahhhh excuses excuses you're all the same... might as well have bought an audi X5 yah posh gits...

Nah I've seen your pics. Looks good fun, my Ma used to have one when we were kids. disco + 6 kids + bicycles + 2 dogs + picnic on trips out in summer, fun times hehe.

Is it your job to enforce company rules? If so the act on it.

If not then inform the boss. He will act, as fizz said, there are ways around every problem.

Ok, being more serious now, here's my take on this, some may agree, others may not, but I don't see any other responsible way of handling this.

Your colleague, friend or no friend obviously does not have much consideration for the law at the moment. If he gets pulled for anything, he'll be found out within 2 or three minutes of giving his name, the company vehicle will be taken away and the company will have to pay to have it back or it will be crushed....that's just for driving without insurance and it doesn't matter if it's not your vehicle. If it happens this way, it is the individuals responsibility to pay the costs incurred by the owner of the vehicle (happened to one of the rugby players I used to work with).

Now, if you just tell your boss, you will stop him driving while at work, but what's to stop him driving his own or anyone elses car? Any uninsured driver is a dangerous one. Your colleague may be a very skillfull, considerate driver, but if he was involved in an accident he would be making the situation for those involved a whole lot worse and if he can drive without a licence, maybe he can drive after having a drink too. We all know what can happen when you drink and drive.

As for telling him and giving him a chance to be honest and stop, I wouldn't take the chance. You'll only know if he's being honest with the company and like I said, could carry on driving at home. As you know, you have a duty of responsibility to your employer to let them know. If you don't and they find out you had knowledge of this, you will be called in for disciplinary action.

So, what would I do? I'd ask my boss for a quick, quiet word. Tell him what you know and that you don't want to cause trouble as the colleague is obviously just trying to carry on working, but that you can't just stand by and do nothing as you understand it would invalidate company insurance and you don't want to be caught up in your colleagues deceit.

Then, go home and make an annonymous call to the local police station to give them his name. Your employers may tell the police as well, but they may also not be bothered. So, your employers can deal with him in work and your annonymous call to the police will mean that he'll get notification or a visit from the police as well. If you do this and your employers don't inform the police, there won;t be much they can do as they will have no proof, but it might be the wake up call he needs.
Honestly though, even if does get hauled back into court and fined heavily or banned for a longer period......serves him right. What if he crashed with his family in the car and he was at fault? No insurance payout, no compo etc.

Some people just can't be trusted to do the right thing so why take the chance??
