Brake Launches Virtual Exhibition Celebrating Fleet Safety

Road safety charity Brake has launched a Virtual Fleet Exhibition for fleet operators and suppliers, celebrating fleet safety and sharing best practice.

The exhibition is part of Brake’s Global Fleet Champions initiative and runs for the whole of August. It showcases projects, products and services that improve road safety and help reduce collisions caused by, and involving, at-work drivers.

Sadly, vehicle crashes account for a significant proportion of workplace deaths and injuries every year. Some crashes involving at-work drivers and vehicles also involve members of the public. Through its Global Fleet Champions initiative, Brake is committed to reducing incidents involving at-work drivers and vehicles, and helping to improve the safety of those driving for work.

The exhibition will be live until 31 August and is free to access for any fleet operator or supplier interested in fleet safety. To view the exhibition visit globalfleetchampions.org/virtual-fleet-exhibition.

Caroline Perry, Brake’s NZ director, says: “Work vehicles and drivers are involved in a high number of crashes every year, but there are measures that organisations can put in place to mitigate risks and reduce incidents. This virtual exhibition is a great way to share examples of products, services and projects that can help fleet operators to manage road risk, and to network with other relevant organisations. We encourage fleet operators of any size, and suppliers, to join in.”

Gordon Campbell: On Dune 2, And Images Of Islam


Depictions of Islam in Western popular culture have rarely been positive, even before 9/11. Five years on from the mosque shootings, this is one of the cultural headwinds that the Muslim community has to battle against. Whatever messages of tolerance and inclusion are offered in daylight, much of our culture tends to be hostile to Islam when we’re sitting in the dark, with popcorn.
Any number of movie examples come to mind, beginning with Rudolf Valentino’s role (over a century ago) as the romantic Arab hero in The Sheik...
