The Safe Lane

In this episode of The Safe Lane Podcast, host Simon Donovan (Executive General Manager, Sales and Distribution – Fuse Fleet and CRI) sits down with Jerome Carslake, Director of the National Road Safety Partnership Program (NRSPP), to unpack one of the biggest blind spots in fleet safety: it’s not the technology—it’s the culture.From personal stories that shaped a career in road safety to the real business wins organisations can achieve within months, this conversation goes deeper than dashboards and data streams.In this episode, you’ll hear:Why the biggest risk many organisations face isn’t speeding or fatigue, it's how they think about safety.How fleets can see 8–9% fuel savings almost immediately by shifting driver behaviour.The hidden cost of vehicles stuck in workshops and how one company reduced its fleet by 20% through behaviour monitoring.Why telematics can either transform culture or create resistance (and how to get it right).How brokers can win better terms by telling the story behind fleet data.Why treating vehicles as workplaces is essential for modern WHS compliance.What the “Race to Zero” really looks like and why every fleet can start today.Whether you’re a fleet manager, broker, insurer, or a driver, you’ll walk away with practical, measurable steps to reduce risk, cut costs and build a culture where everyone gets home safely.New episodes drop quarterly.
