FREE DOWNLOAD: Guide to the new Corporate Manslaughter law

2 April, 2008

With the new corporate manslaughter legislation coming into effect this weekend (6 April), BusinessCar has joined forces with GM UK Fleet to produce free downloadable guide to complying with the new law.

GM UK Fleet has also revealed that it’s the first manufacturer to commit to being a champion of the Department for Transport’s Driving for Better Business initiative.

GM Fleet director Maurice Howkins described the new law as a “hugely important piece of legislation both to our customers and to our staff”.

Driving for Better Business is aiming to develop a network of employers and champions to promote good practice in order to cut deaths and injuries caused by cars and vans used for business.

dear sirs
Having briefly looked at this & noting that the police now fall under this legislation I wonder if someone can exsplain how the police would defend themselves should one of their vehicals be involved in an accident while they are carrying a suspect.. ie police van with people hancuffed & locked in the vehical. surely these suspects are being put at great risk to their safety in the event of an accident as while restrained they would be unable to protect themselves from serious injury.
I would be interested as to who would be held accountable.
