Safe driving reduces wear and tear on company fleet cars, and minimises crash risk and associated repair costs.

Making road safety part of your company culture encourages employees to recognise their personal responsibility to drive safely. Creating a company-wide driving policy can be a very effective means of developing this culture.

It’s important that staff understand their responsibilities when driving a company car and what behaviours are expected of them. They also need to see ‘what’s in it for them'. This may include the safety benefits for them as individuals, as well as the corporate cost and reputation benefits, of abiding by a safe driving policy.

To help you prepare your own safe driving policy, you may wish to view the TAC Safe Driving Policy that was prepared by the TAC for their staff members.
