Sat Nav Nightmares!
The MEN have run a story about a 'Sat Nav Shortcut' taking drivers above the moors above Oldham and them getting stuck!

I think we can call that a slight glitch in the system! However I'd definitely be thinking twice before taking my brand new Company Car up a rocky, muddy and dark lane instead of the A-Road i've just turned off !

Grey Fleets - A Bunch of Similar Colour Cars
Fleet News is having a real debate about the UK's growing 'Grey Fleet' problem. Believe it or not the reason for the Transport Minister's safety concerns is nothing to do with the colour of the cars on the road!!
The fact is that more than ever employees are using their own vehicles for use at work. So be it popping round the corner to pick the post up or travelling the UK for appointments using your own car for work purposes could be getting bosses in trouble!!
In a nutshell management is responsible for employee safety, this includes whilst out and about on work duty. Businesses who provide cars for staff tend to be on top of this a lot more than those who don't. Hence the new founded safety calls. So no matter who pays for the car - it needs to be checked, adequately insured and roadworthy!! Take note!

Perk Cars Are Back
I'll post more information as it comes, however the tax system is now working favourably to once again offer cars that are not necessarily essential for business!
Imagine a young graduate taking a job on the greasy pole in to corporate world. They need a car to transport themselves to work and back. It may well be more cost effective to take a fuel efficient Company Vehicle and pay say £135/month tax. The same new car could be 3 times this cost on a personal basis! The cost to the business would have to be managed but with the total cost of a reasonable Contract Hire car around £3000/year the right sums can add up. A car is worth £5000 to most people, it's a win-win situation.
Therefore it makes sense to offer a car instead of a pay rise or to tie in the talent in the interview room!
