not quite what you said is it if you read what you wrote.

Wasn’t there a case recently regarding a coach company, whose drivers had done no DCPC modules on the run up to the deadline for PCV holders? The TC took a dim view of this and put the company off the road until the drivers had done some modules. This was before the deadline, so maybe there could be issues for some drivers just now.

I could be thinking of a different case, but there was a company in front of the TC for a number of tachograph offences and the TC ordered the company to start DCPC training immediately.

Might be. I can’t remember the exact details. But I’m sure it was a post from GasGas I remember reading about it so he might be able to correct me.

You must carry your cpc by law also or if you get a bugger they can take your keys.no they cant
That is what my instructor told me but i have just checked and you musty carry proof by law i.e card. but as to the other dodgy driving the ministry can take the keys at roadside.
There is no point carrying your driving licence with you, keep it in a safe place at home it is not required. You must however carry your dcpc card and digital card with you at all times whilst working or this could result in penalties.

Do police still bother with producers these days when all the info is available on databases?
Not all the info is on the databases (not straight away, at any rate).

It can take 3 weeks for DVLA to process driving licence and log book changes. This is an example of when police might issue a producer. Anyhow, most databases that police use are their own which ‘pull’ the info from DVLA databases. Important info can be lost or corrupted during this process. As a former officer, you quickly learn never to rely on any database 100%. Its like trusting a Sat Nav without using your eyes and reading the road. If in doubt issue a producer and examine the actual document at later date.

TTBOMK not all court/fixed penalty endorsements are entered “live” - so it is quite possible for someone to be driving around with endorsements on their (paper) licence that are not yet visible to an on-line check.
