Mythbusting road safety

May 4, 2026

National Highways Driving for Better Business programme provides mythbusting resources to surface assumptions, prompt honest conversation, and support the joint development of safer working practices.

There are many common misconceptions held by drivers and managers alike – beliefs that, however widely held, are factually wrong and, in many cases, genuinely dangerous.

The mythbusters resources have been designed to be used as a basis for structured discussion between managers and drivers – in team briefings, toolbox talks, induction sessions, or as part of a broader driver training programme.
