2,538 people lost their lives on UK roads in 2008 and it is estimated that a third of those involve a vehicle being driven as part of their work.

With laws regarding health and safety and employers duties of care tightening, it is essential to ensure your company is compliant and your drivers are aware of safety issues.

This is Arval's 3rd road safety event for businesses, and this time it is being hosted at Peugeot in Coventry on the 7th July. The main objective of the event is to inspire businesses to take road safety seriously with speakers on the day including members of the Fire & Rescue services, the Police, and the 'Driving for Better Business' campaign.
