Driver incident log — extended explanation
Driver incident logs are a regulatory expectation for UK + Ireland licensed taxi operators. Council compliance audits routinely request the incident log covering the audited period. Modern dispatch software like TaxiCloud handles incident logs as structural booking-state extensions with full workflow: incident creation by dispatcher or driver, severity classification, escalation chain to operator-licence holder, resolution tracking, and audit-log preservation. Severe incidents trigger automatic operator-licence-holder notification.
