The DVSA carries out approximately one million MOTs on commercial vehicles every year. Later this month – April 29th – big changes are afoot to a system that’s not really evolved much for many years. From that date, paper MOT certificates will no longer be issued when a vehicle passes its test: https://www.driverhire.co.uk/paper-certificates-binned/

With winter weather firmly in charge, time for a reminder of the importance of ensuring that icy windows on your vehicle are completely cleared before starting your day’s work. Failure to do so could land you a £500 fine. One was recently handed to a van driver in Scotland after he was spotted by police peering out of a small porthole in his otherwise iced up windscreen.
Of course, avoiding a fine whilst ensuring your own safety and that of other road users is very easy. All you need is a proper windscreen scraper and a bit of elbow grease to get the vision you need on a cold and frosty morning. Whilst chucking a bowl of hot water might be quicker, such a rapid increase in temperature results in the expansion of small chips which, long term, can become much more damaging cracks.
Turning the car engine on and leaving it idling until the vehicle is both warn and fully defrosted is, let’s face it, an environmental no-no. And please don’t improvise with a credit card. No matter how hot your recent spending, it won’t do as good a job as a scraper – and it can scratch your windscreen.
For the professional driver, all this will no doubt, be part of the daily walk round check. But we felt, worth a remind.

Test your knowledge! Speed is a critical factor in all road crashes and casualties. The faster a vehicle is travelling, the longer it takes to stop, and the greater the risk of a crash. But do YOU know how far it would take to stop your car when driving at different speeds? Use Brake, the road safety charity's interactive calculator to find out!

£1 trillion was the total amount of goods the UK traded in 2022. Whether imported or exported, the goods were moved by van or truck at some point. All of which explains why the UK logistics industry is massive, last year creating 2.7m jobs. Despite 2022 being a challenging year (inflation, energy costs, Brexit, labour shortages), industry confidence is on the up: https://www.driverhire.co.uk/logistics-on-the-up/?fbclid=IwAR2TJnYvLolWAI5RdL501opTKcXNK6dI_95iTK9nCB3XKSmUEgBPiGNn8fk

In 2022, a record 245,000 people appeared in court accused of speeding offences and UK road deaths rose by 8.7%, to 1695. According to the Department for Transport, the rise in deaths is more likely linked to lifting of the lockdown rules - but the tragic figures show "there's still some way to go to stop this carnage": https://www.driverhire.co.uk/road-death-rise-speed-or.../

During the year a record 245,000 people appeared in court accused of speeding offences. Over the same period, road deaths in the UK rose by ...
