Speed is a critical factor in all road crashes and casualties.
Speed is a critical factor in all road crashes and casualties. Driving is unpredictable and if something unexpected happens on the road ahead – such as a child stepping out from between parked cars – it is a driver’s speed that will determine whether they can stop in time, and if they can’t stop, how hard they will hit.
Hence reducing and managing traffic speeds is crucial to road safety. It has been estimated that for every 1mph reduction in average speeds, crash rates fall by an average of 5%. Breaking the speed limit or travelling too fast for conditions is recorded (by police at crash scenes) as a contributory factor in more than one in four (28%) fatal crashes in the UK. This is arguably a gross underestimate, because whether or not a vehicle is judged to have been speeding or going too fast for conditions, the fact it was involved in a collision means it was going too fast to have stopped in time. In this way, speed is always a contributory factor, albeit often in combination with other causes: no one was ever killed by a stationary vehicle.
JobWatch powered by BigChange includes for free Driver Behaviour Reporting and Alerting. The system measures Speeding, Acceleration, Harsh Braking, Cornering and MPG. We promote praising safe driving and award our customers with cash donations made on their behalf to “Brake Road Safety Charity” .

These days the chief finance officer or finance director is under sustained pressure to improve working capital and profitability while minimising bad debt expense.
One way to achieve these goals quickly is by rationalising the order to cash process.
The activities involved in taking customer orders and turning them into revenue can be categorised in four broad areas: sales order processing (which includes order fulfilment and distribution), invoicing, credit management and cash allocation. While critical to the smooth running of any business, all stages of the order to cash process are characterised by time consuming, manual tasks which rely on paper documents and can be prone to human error. This presents a significant opportunity for business process improvement.
By moving from paper to JobWatch introducing greater automation, the finance director can increase speed and efficiency and generate important benefits both for the finance department and the company as a whole. Cash flow, days sales outstanding (DSO) and other key performance indicators are improved. There is also a significant reduction in costs. People and resources are freed up for other tasks, while delivering invoices and other financial documents electronically generates savings from lower print, paper and postage costs.
The benefits also extend to customer retention and revenue protection. Customers are happier and therefore less likely to defect to the competition because they find the company easier to deal with: their orders are processed faster; they are no longer chased for invoices they have already paid and they can receive invoice documents and data electronically, with the additional benefit of being able to upload it directly into their finance systems to eliminate re-keying.

It doesn’t take a horror movie to get audiences to jump from their seats. Sometimes, a clever ad will do the trick.
Moviegoers in Hong Kong apparently didn’t know what was in store when the lights went down and they began to watch a film in which a driver is cruising down a road.
Watch the clip above to see what happened next.
The clip ends with the following message:
“Mobile use is now the leading cause of death behind the wheel.”
The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration says drunk driving led to 10,322 deaths in the United States in 2012, compared to 3,360 due to distracted driving.
However, the agency says “impairment associated with using a cell phone while driving can be as profound as that associated with drunk driving.”

A man from Northamptonshire has admitted stealing more than £600 from the house building firm he worked for by using the company fuel card on his partner’s car.
The theft was discovered when the Northampton-based company in question, Life Space Developments Ltd, noticed 12 unauthorised transactions on the card’s account, linked to an unknown car.
The car belonged to the partner of Charles Pipe, from Baker Street in Irthlingborough, a carpenter for the company who had been given a company car with a Fuel Card.
During a hearing at Northampton Magistrate’s Court yesterday, the court heard how Pipe had stolen the card and in November last year, spent £606.54 on fuel with it. He admitted the theft both to his employers and the police and said that he had been “strapped for cash”.
He was ordered to pay the full amount back to the company, as well as an £85 victim surcharge and £15 in court costs.
