🚴🏼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.

Fuel efficiency is a hot topic right now, and for good reason. With rising costs, small changes in driving behaviour can make a big difference for both drivers and businesses. That’s why we’ve been running webinars packed with practical, real-world tips to help improve fuel efficiency on the road.

Simple changes like smoother driving, reducing idling, and better route planning can all help cut fuel use and improve performance.

Looking to build on this? Driver Hire Training also offer a Fuel Efficient Driving Driver CPC course online, designed to help drivers (of any vehicle!) boost efficiency, reduce costs, and sharpen their skills. Call today for information on 0191 242 2407 or visit the Training website to book on the next course:

Did you know that breaking down on the hard shoulder results in 250 people being killed or seriously injured every year? Top three tips to stay safe:

✅Avoid breaking down – by regularly servicing and checking your vehicle (including wipers, tyres, and fluid levels). Report faults immediately and understand your vehicle's warning lights.

⚠️Be prepared - carry a charged mobile phone, an emergency kit with warm and high visibility clothing, a torch, water, and a reflective triangle.

🦺Follow general breakdown procedures: If possible, avoid stopping in dangerous places, switch on your hazard lights, and try to pull off the road completely. If you must stop, display your emergency triangle at least 45 metres behind your vehicle (not on a motorway) and NEVER attempt a repair yourself.
