Helping You Keep Your Drivers Safe and Compliant
If your employees drive for work – whether in a company car or their own vehicle – you have a legal responsibility to manage their safety on the road. That includes providing proper guidance, training, and making sure both drivers and vehicles are safe and roadworthy.
To help with that, Driving for Better Business has launched the new Car Driver Toolkit – a brilliant free resource for fleet managers and business owners.
Why the Car Driver Toolkit Matters
Almost 15 million vehicles on UK roads serve business purposes. This includes company-owned vehicles and the ‘grey fleet’ – cars employees own or lease but use for work.
The law makes no distinction – employers have a duty of care for all employees driving for work, regardless of who owns the vehicle.
Every week, around 200 people are injured or killed in work-related road incidents. That’s a staggering number – and these incidents are the leading cause of work-related accidental death.
The new Car Driver Toolkit helps tackle this problem head-on, offering clear, practical guidance for businesses to better manage driver safety and legal compliance.
What’s in the Car Driver Toolkit?
The Car Driver Toolkit is packed with resources you can easily share with your team. Whether your drivers are new to the road or experienced, there’s something useful for everyone.
What You’ll Get:
- Easy-to-understand info cards on driver responsibilities
- Short videos for quick and engaging learning
- Clear guidance on grey fleet management
- Legal reminders to help stay compliant
- Tools to support ongoing driver training
You can access all of this for free here: cardrivertoolkit.co.uk
