Professional Driver Mode is designed for a taxi, private-hire vehicle or another high-use working vehicle. It adds a focused working view to the same private Passport.
Your everyday, occasional and high-mileage vehicles stay as ordinary Passports unless you choose Professional driver for that vehicle.
Taxi drivers
Keep the deadlines you record close to the vehicle they belong to.
Private-hire drivers
Organise inspection, licence, insurance and mileage information.
Other high-use drivers
Use the mode when a working vehicle needs closer mileage and cost attention.
