SAFETY * UK - SmartDrive in-cab video launch

Reynolds has benefited from a 61% decrease in the number of collisions, and weekly minor damage costs have decreased by 50%

London,UK -HGV UK -January 27, 2011: -- SmartDrive – a company that provides in-cab cameras for commercial vehicles – will be launching its in-cab video safety system at the annual Fleet Safety Forum conference... Visitors to the SmartDrive stand will learn how in-cab video safety systems are proving essential to driver and vehicle safety on the UK’s busy roads. The system makes it easy for companies to improve driving behaviour and eliminate noncompliance and risks such as smoking, eating, using handheld mobile phones and non-use of seatbelts. For example, Reynolds, the company that delivers fresh food to Pret A Manger and Pizza Express, wanted to reduce the collision rate among its 235 drivers. It uses the SmartDrive system cameras to record exactly what happened during the 15 seconds before and after an incident – giving fleet managers a detailed view of what led up to an event, and how to avoid it happening again... Since installing the system, Reynolds has benefited from a 61% decrease in the number of collisions, and weekly minor damage costs have decreased by 50%. The company has also reduced their annual insurance costs by over £250,000 and these costs continue to decrease... More than 34 million incidents have been recorded on in-vehicle video cameras by the SmartDrive Safety programme in the UK and USA...
