A driver spends more unsupervised time with your family than almost any other household hire — school runs, errands, sometimes hours alone with your car. Here are the five questions we recommend asking before any offer is made.

1. "Can I see your original driving license?"

Never accept a photocopy alone. Check the license against the CNIC, confirm the issue date lines up with claimed years of experience, and verify it hasn't expired.

2. "Have you had any traffic violations or accidents?"

Most candidates will be honest if asked directly and calmly. Cross-check this against their references where possible — a previous employer will usually mention if there were issues.

3. "Which areas of Rawalpindi and Islamabad do you know best?"

A driver who can navigate Saddar, Bahria Town, DHA and the twin-city commute routes confidently will save you time every single day. Ask them to describe a specific route to test real familiarity, not memorized answers.

4. "What's your availability — and what happens during Ramadan or family emergencies?"

Set expectations on working hours, weekly off-days and how last-minute changes are handled before you finalize anything.

5. "Can I speak to your last two employers?"

This is non-negotiable. A driver with genuine experience will have contactable references who can confirm punctuality, driving safety and trustworthiness.
