Permit to Drive
The easy way to make sure your drivers comply with requirements without having to manually check their suitability yourself
Set your driver policy and we’ll make sure it’s met
Nearly one in eight drivers don’t sign their company policy, leaving their employers exposed to legal risk.
Continuum’s Permit to Drive (P2D) cleverly puts the responsibility for maintaining their own right to drive at work firmly in the hands of the drivers themselves.
With P2D, once you set the mandatory requirements you want your drivers to meet Continuum does the rest. It works with drivers to gather, verify and keep documents up to date, only granting their permit when they have provided all the information and it’s been checked for compliance.
Drivers can view progress and permissions in their personal Continuum dashboard along with outstanding tasks or renewals coming due.
Driving permits can be as unique or flexible as your business needs them. You can have multiple versions to meet the varying driver requirements and vehicle categories within your fleet.
For managers, everything is tracked dynamically in Continuum giving you complete visibility and an end-to-end record. You can get an instant overall health check 24/7 or examine an individual driver’s record to support and manage them if they lose their P2D.
Combine P2D with other Continuum services like licence checks, risk assessments and Driver CPC training for even more risk and compliance benefits in your business.
“Since we enabled the Permit to Drive function on our system, the first thing that drivers, their managers and the system administrators see when they view a driver’s profile is a simple permit with each key item in green for all good, or red where a problem exists. Our department managers and drivers really value this feature which helps them get to the detail of the outstanding issues much more quickly.”
Rich McNab, Health and Safety Manager, Horiba
“Permit to Drive assumes our commercial drivers need a category ‘C’ licence to work for us and automatically assigns a permit against each driver accordingly. The permit will however be revoked, in the event the driver no longer has a valid ‘C’ Category on their licence. By focusing our attention on this vital area of transport management we have enhanced our duty of care protocols, which have in turn enabled us to consistently and pro-actively manage our drivers nationwide.
