2026 is breaking UK weather records again🌡️Multiple heatwaves and red weather warnings, breakdowns have been on the rise and drivers are being urged to check their vehicles to keep themselves and other road users safe. Hot weather = higher risk of engine overheating, tyre blowouts, battery failure, cooling system stress and oil degradation.

Check your vehicle before every journey and shift. Stay road-ready with these tips: https://www.driverhire.co.uk/resources/driving-cool-in-a-heatwave/

🚴‍♀️ 6 August is ‘Cycle to Work Day’! The Cycle to Work Scheme is now responsible for 1 in 4 adult bike purchases in the UK, helping more people swap four wheels for two on their commute.

For those of us working in logistics and transport, that's a timely reminder that we're sharing the roads with more cyclists than ever. Whether you're driving an HGV, van or car, a little extra awareness can make a big difference.

Stay alert. Give space. Pass safely.
