As many as 86% of company car fleets have experienced an accident in the past 12 months, according to a recent report by the Institute of Advanced Motorists (IAM).
The report was commissioned in autumn 2014, and produced a number of interesting findings, including:
- Only 14% of fleets confirmed they had not had any vehicle incidents in their fleet in the last 12 months.
- Every fleet had suffered on-road incidents that were caused by their driver, i.e. an ‘at fault’ incident.
- Only 33% of fleets said at-fault drivers faced some sort of punitive measure, i.e. fine, excess payments, etc.
- Over half said they didn’t offer any post-incident driver training as a means of reducing the risk of repeat incidents.
According to Government figures, between 2008 and 2013 3,493 people were killed in accidents involving a driver/rider driving for work, including 515 in 2013.
