I don't think this is routine health and safey, I think this has come up because of recent court case where after an accident a company was held responsible for the state of its workers cars. Can't remember any of the details.

There was a survey by the FSB a couple of months back that found something like 60% of employees drive on company business without appropriate insurance - and highlighted the fact that the employer has a duty of care to ensure that employees have suitable cars and insurance cover. I think this may be the trigger for all this sudden interest in the issue.

If you are with DirectLine then it doesn't cost nay more.
