Whitepaper - How human factors affect our risk exposure when we drive
17 Apr 2018
The increased likelihood of being involved in a road collision while driving for work in the UK is well researched and documented. It has been suggested that the risk of crash involvement while driving a company car is 29% higher compared to driving a privately-owned car. Other research found the figure was even higher at 49%.This paper summarises the findings from a number of recent research studies, and is based on research that was commissioned by DriveTech and carried out by Ian Edwards MSc.

Whitepaper - The impact of driver behaviour on vehicle running cost
Due to a lack of hard data, driver coaching and or training is often justified on gut feel alone or on ticking the ‘Health & Safety compliance’ box.
From our own day-to-day experiences, we know that the way people drive does directly affect running costs. What has been difficult to prove, beyond reasonable doubt, is what savings could be achieved by improving driver behaviour across the fleet.
This paper demonstrates that financial savings are directly linked to driver behaviour. It uses real-life driving data, often measured by telematics systems, to show that significant savings can be achieved. It also highlights the role that driver training and coaching can play in driving down costs by changing driver behaviour for the better.

Whitepaper - The effect of driver coaching on the bottom line
Getting serious engagement at senior or board level can be challenging if there are no clear financial benefits and no realistic and significant return on investment (ROI), from undertaking a particular course of action.The challenge is particularly acute if companies assume they are purchasing an intangible product. To make it tangible, so that the financial benefits in particular can be explained with confidence, the outcome of training, and the financial savings accrued, must be quantified.
This paper demonstrates that cost savings can be achieved through high quality and innovative driver coaching programme based on a holistic approach to fleet risk and driver safety management.
