Is Enough Being Done To Prevent Fleet Vehicle And Equipment Theft?Equipment theft is rarely just the cost of replacing what has gone missing for fleet owners. In fact, new research has found that 71% of UK fleets experience equipment theft every single quarter, with almost 25% of new equipment budget being allocated to replacing lost or stolen items. For fleets, the wider operational impact may be even more damaging. Missing vehicles, tools, sensors and specialist parts can leave drivers unable […]

Is Drug Driving Now A Bigger Road Safety Threat Than Drink Driving?For decades, drink driving has been one of the most prominent road safety risks facing drivers, employers and the police. But new DVLA figures suggest the picture may be changing, with drug driving becoming the biggest challenge facing the authorities. In 2025, 30,707 drug-driving endorsements were added to individual driving licences, compared with 29,769 drink-driving endorsements, making it the first time that drug-driving endorsements have overtaken those for drink driving.

Northern Ireland’s New Graduated Driver Licensing Rules: What Drivers And Fleets Need To KnowNorthern Ireland is set to introduce Graduated Driver Licensing from 1 October 2026, bringing in one of the biggest changes to driver training and post-test restrictions for decades. The aim is to reduce the number of serious and fatal collisions involving new and young drivers, with the Department for Infrastructure saying drivers aged 17–23 are disproportionately involved in the most serious crashes, despite making up a much smaller proportion of […]

Should Fleets Be Prepared For Hotter Weather Increasing Breakdowns?With temperatures hitting record highs in June, hot weather is something that fleets can no longer treat as an occasional inconvenience. The reality of managing heatwaves and road safety is that it’s a regular occurrence, so it needs to be factored into plans and safety checks moving forward. Breakdowns have increased during the heatwave, with incidents on key motorway routes bringing traffic to a standstill on several occasions over recent […]

Are Electric Vehicle Repair Costs Prohibitive For Fleets?Electric vehicles (EVs) are now part of many everyday fleet operations, with improvements made in battery performance, range, and charging infrastructure meaning that it’s a seamless operation for some. But there is one area that is an ongoing concern for fleets… electric vehicle repair costs. New data has shown that EVs that are involved in so-called ‘non-fault’ collisions cost more 19% more to repair than petrol, diesel or hybrid vehicles. […]

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 […]

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 […]
