Volvo have designed the programme so that it is available free of charge when a business buys or leases their first Volvo. Combined with Volvo's market leading safety technology, **[Volvo Co-Pilot](http://www.volvocars.com/uk/sales-services/sales/business-sales/news/Pages/co-pilot.aspx)** delivers real value to small and medium sized businesses in three important areas:  Legal Compliance, Safety & Risk Management and Business Optimisation. Our **[Mobile Driver Protection](https://www.romexworld.com/solutions/driver-distraction)** module that combats driver distraction is part of the **[Volvo ](http://www.volvocars.com/uk/sales-services/sales/business-sales/news/Pages/co-pilot.aspx)****[Co-Pilot](http://www.volvocars.com/uk/sales-services/sales/business-sales/news/Pages/co-pilot.aspx)** driver safety initiative.  This module automatically disables an employees’ mobile phone whilst they are driving through using GPS to detect movement. Blue Tooth use of the phone can be enabled, according to company policy, but any interaction with the hand-set is blocked. Notifications of email, text or social media are suppressed until the driver is stationary, thus removing the temptation to take their eyes off the road.   Other partners in the scheme include **The British Chamber of Commerce**, **Specsavers**, **TFL**, **Driving for Better Business**, **Fleet 21**, **Lex Autolease**, **Enterprise**, **Regus Business Scene** and **South Essex Insurance Brokers** all of whom are providing offers as part of the **[Co-Pilot Driver Safety initiative](https://www.romexworld.com/Driver-Safety-Inititative).** Information from the Department of Transport indicates that more than a quarter of all road traffic accidents on British roads involve someone driving for work and accidents involving business drivers cause 20 deaths and 200 serious injuries every week.  This would suggest that the **[Co-Pilot](http://www.volvocars.com/uk/sales-services/sales/business-sales/news/Pages/co-pilot.aspx)** driver safety initiative will hopefully reduce this figure and make the roads safer for all concerned. **[Find out more...](https://www.romexworld.com/Driver-Safety-Inititative)**     - [driver distraction prevention](https://www.romexworld.com/news-blog/topic/driver-distraction-prevention) - [protect your employees](https://www.romexworld.com/news-blog/topic/protect-your-employees) - [driver distraction](https://www.romexworld.com/news-blog/topic/driver-distraction) - [text and drive](https://www.romexworld.com/news-blog/topic/text-and-drive) - [texting when driving](https://www.romexworld.com/news-blog/topic/texting-when-driving) - [stop texting](https://www.romexworld.com/news-blog/topic/stop-texting) - [road safety](https://www.romexworld.com/news-blog/topic/road-safety) ###### Related Articles - [Distracted Driving: How to Stop Texting While on the Road](https://www.romexworld.com/news-blog/distracted-driving-how-to-stop-texting-while-on-the-road) July 14 - [DNT TXT N DRIVE: 7 Eye-Opening Facts About Texting and Driving](https://www.romexworld.com/news-blog/dnt-txt-n-drive-7-eye-opening-facts-about-texting-and-driving) March 10 - [How to Eliminate Phone Distraction While Driving](https://www.romexworld.com/news-blog/how-to-eliminate-phone-distraction-while-driving) December 20 - [Overcoming the Mobile Menace](https://www.romexworld.com/news-blog/overcoming-the-mobile-menace) September 4 - [Thousands more drivers caught using their phones](https://www.romexworld.com/news-blog/thousands-more-drivers-caught-using-their-phones) May 31 Please enable JavaScript to view the [comments powered by Disqus.](https://disqus.com/?ref_noscript) © 2026 Romex Limited
