How tech-forward gamification can dramatically improve the mindset and performance of UK drivers (for RSGB members)
Organised by Road Safety GB
Smart tech that leverages behavioural science has never been a more important tool to help lower the amount and severity of road traffic collisions in the UK. Despite a whole raft of awareness campaigns and punitive measures targeting poor driving, casualty numbers remain stubbornly high. The Safe Roads Challenge aims to inspire a culture of positivity and reward for being a safer, more mindful driver and set new standards in driving across the UK. Key to this ambition is to make the programme fun, accessible and motivating for people to do on every trip, thus creating an enduring safe driving movement. This webinar, for RSGB members, will explain why that’s important and how this is being achieved.

The Road Safety Hour: Best practice in vehicle loading and unloading, and why it’s important from an insurer’s perspective
Organised by ScORSA • MS Teams (11am-12pm)
Loading and unloading vehicles is a day-to-day activity for many workers who drive for work, getting it right reduces the potential for accidents both within the loading area and out on Scotland’s roads. From ensuring that loads are spread evenly during loading and unloading, to ensuring that they cannot move in transit and systems to protect people working at height. To ensuring maximum loading isn’t exceeded and checking loads have not moved in transit there is a ‘safe way’ of doing things.
