Driving for Better Business – new fleet safety focus update

Distraction is a leading a cause of collision.

Whether manual, visual or cognitive, a distracted driver is not in full control of their vehicle, nor able to process and adapt to the changing environment around them.

Simply put: the human brain doesn’t multi-task. If you are doing something else, you aren’t driving.

Driving for Better Business in collaboration with the National Highways Commercial Vehicle Incident Prevention Team are providing free to access resources to help those who manage and employ drivers. Their Fleet Safety Focus Updates cover an important area every month. This month’s update focuses on Driver Distraction.

As well as manager resources there’s a link you can share with your drivers to give them access to a specific driver page, where there will be short effective safety messages reinforced with a video.
