Id spill the beans to the boss. He's obviously irresponsible and has no respect or consideration for the law. Your boss may or may not report him/her to the police

If (for whatever reason) he gets pulled by the police, then the company itself could face serious consequences. Even if the company doesnt know about him driving illegally, the police will probably say that the company should have monitored its drivers and their licences more carefully.

Second, how do you know the person in question has been disqualified? did they tell you or did you find out in a roundabout way? You risk getting into trouble yourself - can you afford that?

Third, what happens if this person has an accident which results in serious injury or death of someone else? He/she was disqualified for a reason.

Id have a word up front and tell him what the score is.Make it clear you will shop him to the boss if he doesnt stop driving and admit to the boss that he has lost his ticket.
I wouldnt involve the filth but thats just me.

BTW before the flamethrowers come out,a very close friend of mine is "job"and refers to it as the filth so if she can I can.

This made me think of something else. Although I said in the other post that you should inform the police......don't forget that knowing about a crime and witholding that information is a crime in itself. Not sure how that would apply to you, but is it worth the risk!

Tell the boss openly or anonymously, but make sure he/she knows.

This should be done every year anyway as best practice.
I think this is your best bet yet.
