Endorsements/Penalty Points and Buckinghamshire Council’s Entitlement to Drive
Last updated:-
Employees must report existing and new endorsements and penalty points to their Line Manager. Buckinghamshire Council has a ‘no blame’ culture for the reporting of endorsements and penalty points. Under Duty of Care, employees will be offered further driver training when either the number of penalty points reaches 7 + or the endorsement code indicates further training would be beneficial.
-
Employees are responsible for all fines relating to speeding, parking and road traffic act offences they have committed. If prosecuted for a road traffic offence, employees will be responsible for legal costs.
-
Employees must actively take part in any driver rehabilitation training, where offered, as an alternative to prosecution. Training should be undertaken within 3 months of notification.
-
HGV drivers must follow their legacy council policy.
