Improve your company car drivers the Smart Way

Do you employ drivers?

Up and down the country, employers of drivers and fleet managers share a number of the same headaches:

The running costs of their fleets in the face of rapidly rising fuel costs. Diesel has increased over 20% between November 2009 and November 2010.

They now have vastly increased legal responsibility for their drivers and the actions of their drivers, especially now that the Corporate Manslaughter Act of 2008 makes companies liable for the safety of their drivers whilst they are on the road.

Wear, tear and damage to the fleet - the tight financial conditions of recent years often make it imperative to be able to keep a vehicle on the road for another year. The costs of minor accident claims are rising all the time, as are the costs of insurance.

The company image being in the public eye to to highly visible liveried vehicles. Sometimes advertising can be a double edged sword!

Pressures to reduce the companies carbon footprint and reduce unwanted carbon emissions.

Some facts

Then there are your liability issues. Statistically, every day ten people die on Britain's roads, four of them are driving on company business at the time. Just for a moment, imagine if one of those was to be one of your staff, what would be the impact on your business?

Could you manage without them?
What would the impact be on your business, financially?
What about their family? How responsible would you feel?
Have you really made your best effort for their safety and training?

In today's ever more litigious society it is vital to be able to prove that you have provided the required training for your staff to do their jobs. Also there are ever tightening Health and Safety regulations, where a company car is now seen as an extension to the office.

What about your responsibilities?

Do you check your drivers' licences on a regular basis?

Do you provide ongoing technical training, yet overlook driver training, despite the fact that some of your staff spend more time on the road than in the office?

Are you aware that if a car registered to your company is caught speeding and you do not or cannot identify the driver then your company can be fined in excess of Ł1000!

The stresses of driving on todays roads can take a major toll on the health of employees
