A businessman jailed for 22 months after causing the death of a young boy while driving without a licence reinforces the need for regular licence checks, say Advanced Driving Techniques.

Company director, David Lunn, 61, was convicted of causing death by driving while unlicensed and uninsured, as well as perverting the course of justice.

“Circumstances like these reinforce the need for companies to be vigilant and have sound procedures in place for checking drivers’ licences and, with grey fleet drivers, business insurance,” explained Mark Deere of Advanced Driving Techniques.
