Thank god it is over! - the last few words in a lovely email that was sent recently to our Managing Director Andy Miles, after his involvement in preparing an Expert witness report for a case involving an LGV Driver and a Car.

Fortunately, apart from everyone being shook up, there were no injuries. The Police attended the scene, the LGV driver was interviewed at the scene and later charged with driving without due care and attention. No charges were placed in relation to the driver of the other vehicle, a car.

Does this seem a daft question? Not asking your drivers a few key questions and then listening to the replies could be costing your business in more ways than one.
