Between 16-22 November, the UK marks Road Safety Week, led by the charity Brake. This year’s theme, “Safe Vehicles Save Lives”, is a reminder that road safety isn’t just about following the rules, it’s about protecting drivers, passengers, and everyone on the road.
Modern vehicles are equipped with advanced safety technologies such as automatic emergency braking, lane assist, and improved airbag systems. These features significantly reduce the risk of collisions and injuries. For businesses managing fleets, prioritising vehicles with these technologies is not only a legal and ethical responsibility, but also a smart investment in reducing downtime and insurance costs.
Research shows that 63% of drivers don’t understand all of the safety features available in their car. This likely caused by the fact that over half of new vehicle handovers from dealerships and leasing companies skip over safety feature guidance. 35% of drivers also state they have disabled at least of the features designed for their safety.
