We have just discovered an employee who we knew had lost their driving licence for 12 months, and now has it back, that the offence was for drugs not speeding as we were led to believe. My question is to do with their licence check, it lists the DG10 code for drugs. However, under a heading titled ALC/DRG Level it lists “J200” Does anyone know what this means. No amount of internet searching brings up the meaning of this “J200” does anyone out there know the meaning. We are just curious of what it means before we speak to the person and go through our policy procedure, is it some sort of code or does the J stand for the drug and 200 is the level? Chris

Could it be (sorry for caps - was cutting and pasting)
HAULAGE PERMITS AND TRAILER REGISTRATION BILL DELEGATED POWERS IN THE BILL MEMORANDUM BY THE DEPARTMENT FOR TRANSPORT
Clause 12 [j200]: Trailer registration.
18084-DPM.pdf (parliament.uk)
I know they are taking some of the automatic categories off us oldies if we renew our licence - change address etc.

Thanks, HSSnail but I don’t think so, he only has a normal car licence. It is also showing a fine amount next to it that he had to pay just over a year ago. We also noted his offence was 6 months before he had to go to magistrate’s court. This came up on our general HR licence check (plus we had some suspicions over drug use). It makes little sense to put something on there that when people check licences (with permission) that no one understands. Chris

The 6 months gap from offence to court was likely the time delay

So ALCis alchol level/DRG is drug level 0.15–0.2% (150–200 mg/dL) This is the blood alcohol level where a person appears drunk and may have severe visual impairment
Could that be it?

It is definitely for drugs not alcohol. The code before hand is DG10 which is for drugs where it appears DR10 or DR20 seem to be for alcohol. It lists the court code, then date of conviction, Then Offence code “DG10”, then the fine amount, then ALC/DRG level in this case “J200”, then the disqualified period. So it seems the same layout if drugs or alcohol, but in this instance it is drugs if has DG10. There is a second line with DG10 where the level is listed as F024, but the fine for that was zero. Because it is drugs it will stay on their licence for 11 years and they have a criminal record. Seems odd to put this code J200 on, that will not mean anything to the person reviewing the licence check. However, neither our HR department or myself could find it listed on internet. Chris

Contact DVLA and ask them what J200 means?

Sometimes the easy answers escape you - we do like to make it complicated for ourselves - or maybe it was too many mushrooms this morning!

This often seems to happen on the forum: someone has dealings with an outside body eg the HSE or an auditor or something similar and they respond with jargon or obscure acronyms and abbreviations. Instead of simply getting back to these people they post on the forum. Why is this? Why can’t we admit we don’t know everything and just ask the question! What is even weirder is that the paid the external organisation to provide them with this information. Instead of getting something they can understand they get a whole lot of obscurity. Ask! You are paying for this b******t so you are entitled to know what it means.

Well apparently J stands for ketamine and 200 is the amount. Also apparently F stands for cocaine, obvious really. Call the DVLA, was a bit like pulling teeth, but we got there sort of ( well enough info to improve my google search). For anyone else interested in the future there is a list if you do an internet search for ins57p information on driving licences. Chris Edited by user 14 May 2024 11:25:48(UTC)
