One of the older drivers at my place got pulled today by vosa and his medical needed to be renewed on his class 2 two months ago so they’ve pretty much taken his licence off him and my boss had to take an agency driver to london from south wales to drive the truck back.
What happens now does anyone know…will he be banned/fined ■■?
He’s obviously worried as hell and knows it was stupid but forgot (unbelievable I know)
My GUESS - if they really want to go there and not just realise that it’s a silly oversight and let the whole thing go with a caution/slap on the wrist (which is what I think will happen) especially if the police are not involved

It could also be (But as this is a company vehicle I don’t know exactly how that would stand)
