A driver authentication system comprises a biometric reader 1, communication unit 4 for communication between remote data server 2 and biometric reader, and, a controller 3 which prevents a vehicle being driven until biometric data matches the stored data. The system can prevent unauthorised use of personal cars as well as commercial and fleet vehicles. A sensor unit 8, including a seat pressure sensor 10 and two door sensors 9a & 9b, can also be included that registers if a driver has left the vehicle and turn off the engine to prevent the vehicle being stolen mid-journey. A display 7 can be incorporated into the vehicle dashboard for use. The use of the remote server allows a user multiple access to vehicles and allows remote location identification, using the tracker 6, of any registered units without needing to alter vehicle hardware.
