Mark Roberts, Founder and CEO of Lightfoot, warns that work-related stress resulting in road accidents should be a red flag for all businesses operating company cars and fleet vehicles.

Work-related stress is a worrying cause of road accidents that businesses must address

New research from Devon-based Lightfoot, the maker of the world’s first technology to reward better company car drivers, has revealed that 12% of drivers are citing stress caused by work as the main reason for accidents, with a further 12% pointing to phone calls made during journeys, and 4% highlighting urgent work emails as the chief cause of their accident.

Flatbed trailers are used for many diverse purposes. This style of commercial vehicle, since it is not enclosed, does lend itself well to less size-specific hauls or loads. This includes but is not limited to over size loads (housing and cars), equipment loads, and for many companies, waste removal and garbage loads.

If a company does not do this on a regular basis, owning...
