Fleet drivers instrumental in reducing road carnage
Fleets have been told their drivers will be targeted by Government as it strives to reduce the numbers killed on Britain’s roads to its lowest level ever. In addition to the continuing Government support for The Driving for Better Business Campaign which encourages employers to take action, reporting on the recent RoSPA Congress Fleet News says that it is anticipated that compulsory life-long training and 'van drivers certificates' will be introduced to improve at-work driving standards.
