Thieves are harnessing sophisticated technology to hack into your car’s OBD, meaning they don’t even need a key-fob to start the vehicle and can drive it away in a matter of minutes. In fact, 96% of motorists are at risk of having their vehicle stolen by criminals using the latest theft technique - known as a relay attack.  How does a relay attack work? A relay attack usually involves two people working together. One stands by the targeted vehicle, while the other stands near the house with a device that can pick up a signal from the key fob. What’s more, some devices can pick up a signal from over 100 metres away. The device then relays the key fob’s signal directly to the vehicle, allowing the thieves to get in and drive away immediately. According to the Daily Mail, these hacking devices can be bought for as little as £100 by thieves online. Recovery figures from Tracker found that 82% of Light Commercial Vehicles (LCVs) were stolen without the owner’s ke...

Even the most benign item can become lethal in the event of a crash. With duty of care an ongoing concern, van drivers and fleet managers need to be aware of the dangers. Similarly, employee liability insurance means that a lot of larger operators will only fit racking systems that have proven performance in crash tests. Poorly designed racking systems will not support the typical loads that occur in a crash. In fact, the racking can become projectile itself. While a wood racking system may feel quite sturdy when braking or driving around corners, problems can occur in the event of a crash. Wooden racking disintegrates in an accident and while many people assume the bulkhead...
