Distraction is the road risk hiding in plain sight and a key theme for National Road Safety Week, 17 – 24 May 2026.
For fleet operators, distraction isn't just a personal responsibility. It's a business one.
The good news: there are practical steps you can take right now, whether you're just getting started or already have technology in place.
1. Mobile phones remain a fleet risk
Despite large fines and demerit points, drivers are still picking up their phones. Safe in-cab messaging - only accessible when the vehicle is stationary - keeps your team connected without the risk.
2. Speeding can be a sign of distraction
Distracted or fatigued drivers often lose control of consistent speed. In-cab visual and audible alerts help drivers self-correct in the moment, before a speed event becomes something worse.
3. Use AI camera data
Road Safety Week is a great prompt to review your dashcam insights. Which drivers need a coaching conversation? Where is work - calls, dispatch messages - interfering with the driving task?
