Personal liability

Further, if a company is guilty of failing to provide driver information and the offence is proved to have been committed with the consent or connivance of, or to be attributable to neglect on the part of, a director, manager, secretary or other similar officer of the business, that person is also guilty of failing to provide the information and can be personally prosecuted. 

Not only can the company receive a considerable fine but the individual also faces 6 penalty points and a fine of up to £1000 as well. 

If a system of record keeping is not in place without reasonable excuse, there is every possibility an individual within the company may be held liable for not putting proper provisions in place.
