If they wish to change your contract of employment then depending on the number of drivers affected they should consult with you/ elected reps etc

In this case I cannot see how they can make a deduction from pay and still comply with national minimum wage legislation?   I think that needs to be explored

Don't see how MW is relevant ??? MW for 25+ is currently £7.83 (£8.21 from April) and only applies to hours actually worked.

This excess is punitive in the event of employee fault, and is probably already covered in existing contracts in that employees have a responsibility to look after company property or pay a contribution towards repair/replacement or face disciplinary action if deliberately or otherwise negligent.

It isn't unreasonable, even if the apparent change seems draconian  :-\

Minimum wage applies after deductions so it is very relevant

This isn't a deduction in that context ::)

I’ll be very surprised if they don’t have a clause in the contract to confirm their right to change terms with 90 days notice  :-X

As for legality... It’s probably legal, even though unethical, but perhaps it is being put in place for repeat offenders

Good point there Paul . . .  the younger guys , and some are under 25 and do drive like TB :o.  My managers comment to me was , "its probably never gonna be implemented to you". 

One of the youngsters to my knowledge is on his 3rd van inside 2 years  ::) ::)

1 accident  ( which is still being investigated as a "crash for cash" by the other vehicle & a blown up engine  ::) ::)

I wrote off the same van 3 times in 2 years.  All 3 my fault  :-[, but FWD Escorts never go where you point 'em, in my defence :D
