Business backing for less talk on the roads

More businesses are planning to ban their employees from using in-car hands-free phones to prevent the danger of crashes. This resulted from a workshop – Eliminating Driver Distractions – which was organised by Brake, the road safety charity, attended by fleet managers, business leaders, local authorities and members of the emergency services.

Research has revealed that in-vehicle distractions can quadruple the chances of a crash, with mobile phones, satellite navigation and eating being the major culprits.
