Peter Millichap, director of marketing at Teletrac Navman UK, concedes that latest statistics from the Fleet Compliance Check Report 2015/16 show a 4.2% reduction in HGV prohibitions in 2015 compared to 2014, but says there will still be a vast number of fleets that would fail roadworthiness and traffic compliance checks.
“Managing the risk associated with operating a fleet is critical, and so is adhering to the plethora of laws in vehicle legalisation,” states Millichap.
“Today, fleet management companies need to be aware of their responsibilities in regard to driver safety as well as being well-informed in each area of vehicle, driver and risk management,” he continues.
“The potential consequences of not being compliant are severe, so we encourage all fleet owners to take the time to complete the checklist to see how they measure up.”
The fleet compliance checklist determines the compliance of HGVs, rigids and vans. Millichap says the results allow fleet operators to identify their strengths and weaknesses, and to get expert advice on areas where they can improve.
