FLEET managers are being urged to ensure drivers have their head rests in the correct position following research showing that almost 21 million drivers could be at risk of serious neck injuries.

A survey by road safety charity Brake and Green Flag Motoring Assistance claims that 65% of drivers do not adjust their head rests correctly. Brake is offering a free resources pack which aims to educate company car drivers on the importance of altering head rests.
