Brian employs a casual driver to cover periods when he is not available to drive himself. In addition to the correct licence, what will that driver need to have to drive this truck?

Explanation: • Green card: No, this document simply extends a person's vehicle insurance to the same level of cover they have in the UK whilst driving abroad.
• MPQC card: No, this Mineral Products Qualification Council card only relates to drivers carrying mineral products e.g. from quarries etc. It is a basic health & safety qualification for those engaged in this type of work.
• MPQC card and analogue tachograph card: No, the vehicle is too new to have an analogue tachograph unit and the MPQC does not apply here.
• DQC and Digital tachograph driver card: Yes, the driver will need to carry his Driver qualification card at all times and as the vehicle is only 1 year old and will therefore be fitted with a digital tachograph, he will also need a digital tachograph card for it.
