Managing a fleet of vehicles comes with its fair share of challenges. Road traffic offences and penalty charge notices (PCNs) can quickly add up, costing businesses time, money, and resources. For example in London alone, over 8 million PCNs were issued, an increase of 9.7% from the previous year. Fortunately, fleet and driver management software can help you stay ahead, ensuring compliance, reducing fines, and keeping drivers safe.
In this blog, we’ll explore how these tools can make a difference and how Fleet Service GB is uniquely positioned to help.
Why Road Traffic Offences and PCNs Matter
The Impact on Fleet Operations
Road traffic offences and PCNs don’t just affect drivers—they impact the entire fleet operation. From hefty fines to increased administrative workloads, ignoring these issues can hurt your bottom line and disrupt business continuity.
- Operational Disruption: Unresolved offences can lead to further penalties, even vehicle immobilisation.
- Reputation: Frequent violations reflect poorly on your business image.
How Fleet and Driver Management Software Can Help
Regular Licence Checks and Risk Monitoring
Fleet management software, like Fleet Service GB’s Achieve Software Hub, integrates with DVLA’s database to automate licence checks. This ensures:
- Regular Updates: Quickly find out if a driver has incurred an offence.
- Risk Scores: Offences directly impact a driver’s risk score, enabling tailored interventions.

Tracking and resolving PCNs can be time-consuming. Fleet management software automates this process, allowing you to:
- Monitor fines and trends.
- Automate payments or challenges.
- Identify hotspots where offences occur.

Educating drivers is key to reducing offences. The Achieve Driver App offers tools to help:
- Share guidance on parking rules and road laws.
- Track individual performance and provide actionable feedback.
- Make drivers aware of how offences affect their risk scores.
