    Howdy, I've noticed a lot of jobs lately are looking for people with a full clean licence, now pardon the stupid question but is all that important to have?

    I have 2 on mine which as regrettable as they are, i've learned my lesson

    So say you're in a job with your clean licence and you get done for speeding? then what? Basically I'm asking can employers give a little sway or do they just put this up and that's that?


    Again sorry for the stupid questions but it's been annoying me

    It would be important for me - you may be driving one of my vehicles, which I insure. I would like to think my drivers won't be increasing my premiums or be generating fines for the company.

    "Clean licence" typically refers to endorsements on the licence, not penalty points.

    Drivers with endorsements for drink driving, etc, are typically not covered on company policies by default, but penalty points are. Apply for the job and if they ask about the licence, just mention that you've two points and they'll probably say, "Ah that's grand".
