Company claims they did nothing wrong but still changed their practices.

Why change something if it was not wrong?

Tragic case, but I wonder if the driver had failed to disclose how seriously ill he was? What type of licence do you need to drive these vans? Suspect if he'd been a truck driver he'd have been off the road ages ago. Think the authorities will be hyper-sensitive to things like this after the truck driver in Glasgow who failed to disclose a previous loss of consciousness ended up killing six people.

And how long have these drivers been self-employed? I thought that had been the arrangements for years, or is this a new 'gig economy' thing?

This company should be stripped of its Queens award for innovation or was it given for how to rip off employees.
