What Does Tougher Parking Enforcement Mean For Fleets?Parking enforcement is changing across the UK, and for fleets the message is becoming increasingly difficult to ignore. There were around 14.4 million private parking tickets issued in 2024/25, more than double the number issued six years earlier. And the direction of travel suggests enforcement is only likely to become more prominent. New legislation passed in 2026 has created powers that will allow local transport authorities in England to introduce […]

Fleets Warned About ‘Distracted Driving’ Risk Over Bank Holiday WeekendThe August Bank Holiday is nearly here, and new research suggests fleet managers have another reason to make sure driver safety is front of mind. Analysis of more than 16 million UK journeys found that driver distraction increases by 15% on August Bank Holidays, while speeding rises by more than 23%. The figures become even more concerning when you look at when the behaviour is happening. Between 7am and 11am, […]

Could Part-Worn Tyres Be Putting Fleet Safety At Risk?When budgets are under pressure, part-worn tyres can appear to offer a simple way to reduce vehicle maintenance costs. They are perfectly legal to sell and use in the UK, providing they meet the required safety and marking standards, but recent enforcement activity has highlighted a worrying question… How confident can fleets and drivers really be about the condition of the part-worn tyres they are buying? Inspections carried out over […]

Are Rising Maintenance Costs Becoming A Bigger Fleet Risk?Keeping vehicles safe and roadworthy has always come at a cost, but recent stories suggest those costs could be heading in one direction. The Independent Garage Association is calling for the maximum Class 4 MOT fee to rise to £95, arguing that the current fee has not changed since 2010 despite significant increases in labour, energy, equipment and compliance costs. At the same time, new analysis of almost 2,500 HGV […]

Drink-Drive Collisions Peak In Summer, So What Does That Mean For Fleets?Drink-driving might traditionally be associated with Christmas parties and the festive season, but new analysis of Department for Transport figures suggests the greatest risk actually comes during the summer. Over the last decade, August has recorded an average of 721 drink-drive casualties resulting from 485 collisions each year, making it the highest-risk month. July follows closely behind with an average of 704 casualties and 474 collisions. By comparison, December averages […]

Could Photo Evidence Make MOTs Safer For Fleets?MOT testing is getting a new layer of verification, with garages now being asked to take photographic evidence of the vehicle being tested. The Driving and Vehicles Standards Agency (DVSA) are introducing the measure following cases of so-called ‘ghost’ MOTs, where vehicles are passed despite never actually being presented for testing. In fact, ghost MOTs are reported to account for nearly 80% of fraudulent MOTs, including one recent case where […]

Could ‘AI Pothole Detection’ Help Make Britain’s Roads Safer?Potholes have become one of the most persistent problems on Britain’s roads, creating an ongoing headache for drivers, fleet operators and local authorities. But could artificial intelligence help councils identify damaged roads earlier and move towards a more preventative approach to maintenance? It’s an idea that’s been floated by Citroën and it could be something that comes to pass in the next few years… As part of its new Better […]

06/08/2026

Are Fleets Underestimating The Road Safety Risk Their Drivers Face?Government figures suggest that almost a quarter of reported road collisions in the UK last year involved at least one person driving or riding for work. However, the purpose of the journey was unknown for more than half of the vehicles involved, meaning that the ‘true’ proportion of collisions connected to work-related driving could be considerably higher. It is also important to look beyond the vehicles traditionally associated with fleet […]

Do Road Death Figures Present A Major Concern For Fleets?Driving for work is one of the greatest risks faced by employees, yet it can still receive less attention than hazards found in a traditional workplace… New figures for 2025 demonstrate the scale of the issue, with 445 people killed in collisions involving somebody who was driving or riding for work. That means work-related collisions were connected to almost three in every ten road deaths recorded across the UK during […]
