on a serious note if the driver is constantly misusing the mode switch and is found by you or audit company then the onus is on the transport manager too bring it too the drivers attention and try too correct it, failing that if he gets stopped at roadside and it’s found then that would open yourself and the company up for investigation by vosa with the likley hood of fines and a visit too the traffic commisiner who will look at the transport managers repute aswell as the companys standing.
If the transport manager can show he has been given training on how to use it correctly then the fault would be on the driver

Many a true word…
I think VOSA want to see that you ™ is aware and has made the driver aware, moving from that to disciplinary actions.
A course of action something like this maybe?
