Road safety programme wins international award

National Highways' road safety Driving for Better Business campaign has won the prestigious Prince Michael International Road Safety Award.

Driving for Better Business is a government-backed National Highways programme to help employers in both the private and public sectors reduce work-related road risk, control the associated costs and improve compliance with current legislation and guidance.

The ambition of the programme is to bring about radical change in how organisations think about worked-related road risk, and to improve the levels of compliance for all those who drive or ride for work by demonstrating the significant business benefits of managing work-related road risk more effectively.

National Highways Chief Executive Nick Harris said:

"It is a great honour that we have been recognised for our Driving for Better Business road safety programme, which has successfully improved road safety and also brought financial benefits to the many companies that have joined.

"If you are a fleet operator, please do look at the benefits that the Driving for Better Business can bring."
