Do Automated Vehicles Have A Trust Issue, And Will It Affect Fleets?Automated vehicles are no longer just a concept coming sometime in the undefined future. With self-driving vehicles set to roll out this year, the research into the safety impact and public perception is stepping up. Pilots, consultations and safety frameworks are all being developed to prepare for self-driving vehicles operating on real UK roads. For fleets, that presents a major opportunity, but also a very real challenge. Because while autonomous […]

Fleets Warned Over Safety Risk With Cargo Crimes RisingFleets are being urged to take extra precautions over the safety and security of vehicles and drivers, with theft on motorways rising. So-called ‘cargo crime’, where the goods from HGVs and trucks is stolen, has been steadily rising, with 3,424 incidents in 2025. The data comes from the National Vehicle Crime Intelligence Service and found that more than half of all incidents occur when a fleet vehicle is parked at […]

Are Work-Related Road Deaths Being Accurately Reported?When we think about workplace fatalities, we often picture incidents on construction sites, in warehouses, or in factories. But the biggest workplace risk isn’t actually in a specific place at all… it’s on the road. The issue is that there are once again concerns that the UK is failing to record the ‘true’ number of work-related road deaths, which creates issues for managing risk and for gaining a true understanding […]

Could New Clearer Pothole Rules Improve Road Safety?You don’t need us to tell you that potholes are a serious problem on our roads. The government have been attempted to address the issue through increased funding as it impacts road safety and causes punctures and breakdowns. But the question is… could greater transparency finally help improve the situation? Because the Government has announced new rules that will require councils in England to publicly report how well they are […]

What Are The Biggest Challenges for Fleets in 2026 and Beyond?There are always challenges for fleets and in recent years, there have been more than our fair share. Interestingly, the government have recently ‘acknowledged’ the challenges the fleet sector is facing and has highlighted the vital role fleets play (and will continue to play) in the UK economy. As we move towards the second half of 2026 and autonomous vehicle trials begin on UK roads, what challenges can fleets expect? […]

Should Fleets Be Wary Of Drink Driving Risk Ahead Of World Cup?With the World Cup set to begin in the next couple of weeks, fleets are being urged to be wary of potential drink-driving issues. That’s because with many England and Scotland games scheduled to air late at night (and some through the middle of the night), as well as during midweek, there is a risk that those who drink the night before might still be over the drink-drive limit the […]

Is Mobile Phone Use Behind The Wheel Increasing?A new report has found that the proportion of drivers who admit to using a mobile phone behind the wheel has increased. Measuring the actual numbers of drivers who use a mobile device while driving is difficult because unlike with speeding, as an example, it isn’t automatically captured or detected by speed cameras. However, with new AI camera technology being deployed in trials by local police teams, that could be […]

Fleets Warned Over ‘More Sophisticated’ Insurance Scams On The RoadInsurance scams aren’t something new, but experts are now warning that tactics on the road are becoming more sophisticated and more dangers. The Insurance Fraud Bureau (IFB) has analysed 3.3 million claims, identifying key ‘hotspot’ areas across the UK and noting a rise in more organised, deliberate scam activity. Parts of Central London, Bradford and Birmingham are the key areas with the highest proportion of ‘suspicious claim’ activity, while fraudsters […]

Do Self-Driving Fleet Rollouts Pose a Road Safety Risk?Self-driving fleets are taking yet another step closer to reality, which bodes the question… do they pose a threat to road safety? And what steps are being taken to mitigate against any potential issues? With the Department for Transport (DfT) seeking taxi and bus operators to take part in a pilot scheme that’s set to launch later this year, autonomous vehicles on the road are set to become a reality […]

Will The May Bank Holiday Traffic Rush Have An Impact On Road Safety?With the May Bank Holiday (and school half-term holidays) set to begin, the usual traffic rush is set to begin… But will it have an impact on road safety for fleets and other road users? The short answer is yes, with experts predicting that more than 23 million journeys will take place on Friday 22nd May as the long bank holiday weekend kicks into gear. That will inevitably result in […]
