Neville Briggs, managing director at CFC Solutions, said that the top 10 list could help fleet managers shape their future risk management strategies: “If fleet managers have a good idea of the type of offences that are likely to be committed on their fleet, then they can put measures in place to help prevent them being committed in future.
“Clearly, these statistics show that many fleets have some work to do when it comes to educating drivers about the very real dangers of speeding and mobile phone use.”
