From Rally Stages to Safer Roads: Goal Setting, Driver Training & Fleet Safety
Description
In this episode of the Fleet News Group podcast, we’re joined by New Zealand rally champion and road safety advocate Hayden Paddon. From grassroots motorsport to standing atop a WRC podium, Hayden shares lessons from a career built on goal setting, strategy, and managing risk under pressure.
We unpack how those same principles apply to fleet operations—whether it’s building a culture of calm and competent driving, introducing practical driver training, or rethinking how we prepare drivers for life on busy roads. Hayden also discusses his latest initiative to bring motorsport-based driver education to young Kiwis and why the vehicle should be treated as a workplace.
Whether you're managing five vehicles or five thousand, this conversation is packed with insights to help you influence safer driving behaviours across your organisation.
