Managers fail to monitor speed dial

摘要

Over a quarter of fleet supervisors have no idea if their drivers were speeding when involved in a collision, according to a report by road safety charity, Brake. Of those surveyed, 26 per cent admitted that they did not know what proportion of their collisions were caused by their vehicles breaking the speed limit. Sixty five per cent of all respondents said they had educated drivers on looking out for vulnerable road users, which included driving at a reasonable speed. "Speed is one of the biggest killers on our roads," said Roz Cumming, professional engagement manager at Brake. "Fleet managers not only have a duty to ensure the safety of their drivers, but also to protect vulnerable road users."
