Private vehicles do not always have their service maintenance up to date. Therefore, the reliability may not be secured for: engine / brakes / clutch / cooling system / AC / lighting ….

Driver confidence while driving his “own car” has been found to lead to: over speeding and taking short cuts off the road for fun .…

Private journeys often do not follow a “Journey Management System”. However, the same driving risks and consequences remain ….

Use of your private vehicle also impacts on your money: petrol consumption / oil engine change out / general car services / tire wear ….

Remember: more kms you do with your own car = less car value when you sell ….
