GE Capital Fleet Services introduced Driver Accountability, a violation management solution that increases fleet managers’ control over violation expenses. The solution saves fleets 60 to 80 percent over existing payment processes and provides drivers with the ability to dispute violations before they are settled with the issuer.
Driver Accountability is a highly-customizable, automated system that empowers drivers to directly handle violations with issuers. This removes the need for fleet managers to assume the risk and liability for violations. Fleet managers can access all violation-related activities online, which presents an easier way to handle violations.

Fleet managers also have access to GE Capital Fleet Services’ award-winning customer call center and expert consultants to help identify additional programs with opportunities for cost savings. One such program is GE’s Toll Management program, which was launched in 2012 to increase control of toll costs and reduce administrative burdens surrounding toll violations.
The new program is introduced as the number of issued violations continues to increase due to cashless electronic toll collection, advancements in enforcement technology, and more aggressive enforcement practices. Over the last three years, fleet violations have risen almost 40 percent, with the average violation fine reaching $69, according to GE customer data.

“As vehicle violations continue to impact the bottom line, this new program increases fleet managers’ productivity and ability to manage driver behavior,” said Brad Hoffelt, senior vice president and general manager of products and services at GE Capital Fleet Services. “Driver Accountability is another example of GE using the latest technologies to help our customers save money and time.”

Fleet drivers face constant visual, cognitive, and environmental interruptions the moment they hit the road. From roadside chaos to mental fatigue and digital overload, today’s biggest driving risks often come from outside the vehicle itself.
FLASH Weather AI has launched a first-of-its-kind hail prediction model capable of forecasting hail size and arrival time at 1-kilometer resolution up to 55 minutes ahead, giving fleets and insurers critical time to prepare for severe storms.

Distracted driving remains one of the most persistent risks in fleet operations. New approaches focus on removing mobile device use entirely while adding real-time safety support.
As distraction risks evolve, fleets are turning to smarter, more connected technologies to better understand what’s happening behind the wheel. Part 2 explores how these tools are helping identify risky behaviors and improve visibility across operations.
Distracted driving is often measured by what we can see—phones in hand, eyes off the road. But what about the distractions we can’t? A recent incident raises a bigger question about awareness, attention, and why subtle risks so often go unnoticed.
