How will the new penalty points system affect your company drivers? This is an issue that Irish employers are going to have to look closely at before this system is enforced early next year. If for example a company driver incurs 12 points in a 3 year period, they cannot drive for the company for 6 months. What does the employer do in this instance? Do they supply alternative work?
