Fleet risk, thinking differently

21 Apr 2026
Driver Safety Theatre | Hall 4
Driver Safety Theatre

National Highways has set ambitious targets to reduce casualties and meeting them will demand a fundamental shift in how we understand and prevent collisions. In this session, Mark will challenge traditional assumptions about why incidents occur and reveal emerging insights into the real factors behind road collisions.

He will also explore the powerful, often underestimated role that employers of “at work” drivers can play in transforming road safety. From influencing driver behaviour to reshaping organisational responsibility, Mark will outline practical steps that can significantly cut both the frequency and severity of incidents.

This is an essential talk for anyone committed to safer roads, smarter risk management, and a proactive approach to protecting their workforce.
