A friend who is a driver says that he does not have the authority to
authorise people in the cab. He says (although I do not believe this one)
that he can order an inspector to leave the cab, unless the inspector is
there in an official capacity (to observe his driving skills, etc). So,
according to him, an inspector going home does not have the authority to be
in the cab.

The inspector would make his life hell if he tried it though.

Agreed. Strike one up for common sense.
