What if the biggest risk your business faces is something your team does every day without thinking? In this episode of Driven by Excellence, host Hattie Hlad sits down with leading road safety expert Andrew Drewary to uncover why driving remains one of the most dangerous daily activities—and what organisations can do to minimise risk. With over 40,000 road traffic investigations under his belt, Andrew shares real-world insights into the cost of collisions, the myths around driver culpability, and the leadership changes needed to embed a strong safety culture.Listeners will gain a deeper understanding of how proactive risk management, inclusive training strategies, and management accountability can significantly reduce fleet incidents. From the dangers of untreated medical conditions to the rise in post-lockdown drink and drug driving offences, Andrew outlines the critical issues every fleet operator and business leader needs to confront. Whether you're in logistics, fleet management, or workplace safety, this conversation offers essential takeaways to future-proof your organisation and protect lives on the road.(00:00) - Driving Change with Andrew Drewary: Building Safer Fleets Through Education
