Driving Monitor has been an invaluable partner to National Grid for the past eight years, helping us effectively manage our fleet of commercial & Grey Fleet drivers. Their expertise and innovative approach have played a crucial role in enhancing our driver risk management strategy.
We have recently carried out a full risk assessment on our fleet of 1300 vehicles and highlighted a few areas of concern, in line with the latest Driving at Work legislation.
We decided to review our Driving Policy and introduce some form of training for our members.
We invited various defensive training providers to carry out presentations on how they can help us achieve a very high level of duty of care, and Driving Monitor delivered with the highest standards. Our priority is to reduce the accident rate and raise the standard of driving throughout our organisation.
“We chose Driving Monitor because due to their knowledge and experience, they are able to work with us in reducing our accident rate. Driving Monitor is an excellent programme, which helps us highlight the drivers that require further training.
The upkeep of the vehicle is very important and Driving Monitor help to educate our drivers with very simple tips on how to maintain their vehicle and keep it clean.
Driving Monitor have been very pro-active in supplying us with case studies, literature and posters that cover most areas of concern when driving at work.
We are very focused in our attempts to have a very good record on Duty of Care and we are confident that Driving Monitor will help us achieve a very high standard.”

Key Benefits of Driving Monitor for NG Bailey:
- Accident monitoring & in-vehicle training help us proactively reduce risk.
- Bespoke training based on needs so the drivers get tailored training.
- Centralised driver data keeps everything in one place, streamlining operations.
- Line manager visibility has driven compliance rates higher across the board.
- Seamless onboarding & lifetime monitoring ensure risk is managed continuously.
Initially, the project focused on assessing all of the drivers to then deliver bespoke online training and in-vehicle advanced driver training. We have ensured the fleet of drivers are being managed in a consistent way to ensure our duty-of-care is being covered.
The platform now automatically verifies key compliance factors in terms of which drivers are High, Medium or Low risk. This has given us a clearer and more accurate overview of compliance, ensuring that every driver meets the required safety and legal standards.
Our partnership with Driving Monitor continues as we work together to ensure we maintain our high standards in driver safety and compliance. Their innovative online tools, combined with their commitment to road safety, has been pivotal in helping us create a safer fleet across NG Bailey. We look forward to broadening this collaboration and continuing to drive improvements in safety within our fleet.
