Keep Your Fleet Compliant, And Your Drivers Safe

Traditionally, vehicle checks are completed on an occasional basis with the information being recorded on paper forms or in a paper logbook. Although this process meets some of the DVSA requirements, there is a risk that paper based checks could be missed, lost or forgotten.

By digitising the vehicle check, fleet managers can be more proactive - checks can be recorded, reported and acted upon quickly. Copies of paperwork can also be produced with ease, in the event of a roadside check.

Drivers have a personal responsibility to ensure the vehicle is safe before driving. This can be achieved by conducting regular walkaround safety checks which cover the condition of their tyres, brakes, steering, lights, indicators, and hazard warning lights. The checks should cover all areas of the vehicle, including the trailer if the vehicle is towing one. Results of the checks should be recorded, defects or faults must be reported, and any necessary repairs undertaken before the vehicle is driven.

Fleet managers and/or business operators have a legal responsibility to make sure their drivers comply. The Driver Toolkit simplifies compliance and enables fleet managers to meet this requirement, and record data, with minimum effort.
