Hello and welcome to episode five of the project EDWARD 2023 Podcast. My role in the Safe system. This week our reporter is Darren Lindsey and he's in conversation with Mark Cartwright from National Highways for a discussion on some of the unique challenges faced by truck and van drivers on the Strategic Road Network and a look at what's being done to improve levels of safety, compliance and driver well-being.

Darren met Mark at the recent Fleet Operators Recognition Scheme (FORS) Conference in Birmingham, first asking him about the benefits of technology in supporting drivers.
