National road safety policy increasingly influences insurance expectations, vehicle standards, and the duty of care placed on employers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The ambition of the strategy is significant: <strong>to reduce the number of people killed or seriously injured (KSI) on Great Britain\u2019s roads by 65% by 2035<\/strong>, with an even higher target of 70% for children under 16. Better systems, better regulation, and better support are expected to save thousands of lives over the coming decade.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If your business operates company vehicles, the new strategy affects how you manage risk, drivers, and vehicles, especially if driving is part of someone&#8217;s job. Here&#8217;s how to <a href=\"\/en-gb\/blog\/bridging-the-lgv-safety-gap\/\">prepare for stricter regulations for all company vehicles<\/a>. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-work-related-road-risk-is-front-and-centre\">Work-related road risk is front and centre<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Our partners at <a href=\"https:\/\/www.drivingforbetterbusiness.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Driving for Better Business<\/a> are supporting the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.gov.uk\/government\/organisations\/department-for-transport\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Department for Transport<\/a> with a pilot for a new work-related road safety charter that will have big implications for employers. It suggests you may soon see:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>more formal expectations for how you manage driving risk<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>clearer standards for good practice<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>more emphasis on demonstrating duty of care consistently<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>If you already treat driving for work as a major operational risk, the strategy reinforces that you&#8217;re right to do so.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-what-s-in-the-new-road-safety-strategy\">What&#8217;s in the new Road Safety Strategy?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>The Government&#8217;s new Road Safety Strategy outlines several consultations that could affect you directly, not only through legislation, but through what clients, insurers, and regulators increasingly expect you to have in place.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The areas highlighted include:<\/p>\n\n\n\r\n<section  class=\"qtx-pagebuilder-section qtx-pagebuilder-section-list \">\r\n<ul class='ticks fa-ul' style='0'><li><span class='fa-li'><i class='fas fa-check-circle'><\/i><\/span>a minimum learning period for new drivers<\/li><li><span class='fa-li'><i class='fas fa-check-circle'><\/i><\/span>mandatory eye tests for drivers over 70<\/li><li><span class='fa-li'><i class='fas fa-check-circle'><\/i><\/span>a review of motoring offences, including lower drink-drive limits and tougher penalties for unlicensed or uninsured driving<\/li><li><span class='fa-li'><i class='fas fa-check-circle'><\/i><\/span>additional safety technology in new cars<\/li><li><span class='fa-li'><i class='fas fa-check-circle'><\/i><\/span>reforms to motorcycle training, testing and licensing<\/li><\/ul><\/section>\n\n\n<p>Even if not every measure applies specifically to your company fleet, they can still influence your responsibilities when staff drive company vehicles, pool cars, or their own vehicles for work.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The strategy also includes a commitment to a Road Safety Investigation Branch, intended to bring together data and investigate patterns that can drive improvements. Over time, you can expect more emphasis on evidence and learning, and potentially on <a href=\"\/en-gb\/blog\/collision-investigation\/\">how organisations respond to incidents<\/a>, so it&#8217;s crucial to stay informed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.fleetnews.co.uk\/news\/new-road-safety-strategy-targets-drink-driving-and-older-drivers\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Fleet News<\/a> noted that the strategy zeroes in on drink-driving and older drivers. For employers, that raises real questions, because it touches on fairness and inclusion, compliance, and where their responsibility ends and the driver\u2019s begins. Strong risk management, built on clear standards, consistent processes, and supportive coaching is needed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-practical-steps-you-can-take-now\">Practical steps you can take now<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>You don\u2019t need to wait for consultations to conclude to start making progress.
