Reputation and reality clash

This is leaving drivers vulnerable to being assessed on their perceived risk, rather than reality. TTC offers a bolt-on service to assess drivers' risk profiles through its online platform Continuum, which can generate real-time driver and fleet risk data for data-driven fleet and driver management decisions. Mitigating driver risk has positive knock-on benefits for road safety in general and can also lower insurance premiums for fleets if claim rates fall as a result. TTC suggests that assessing and improving driver behaviour from the outset can help to lower the number of road incidents occurring.

TTC training director Andy Wheeler, says: “Many drivers get unfairly labelled as being speeders or risk takers on the road, while there may in reality be no data to back this up. Conversely, there may be drivers on a fleet who are a high risk, but who are not picked up as such by management.”
