Updates and Corrections

The editorial policy commits to fixing material errors and saying so rather than quietly rewriting them. This page is where that record lives.

What gets logged here. Corrections to a factual claim, a changed conclusion, added or replaced sources, and substantive revisions to an article's content. What does not. Typographical fixes, broken links, formatting and design changes — logging those would bury the entries that matter.

Every article also shows its own publication date and, where it has been revised, the date of that revision.

How to report an error

Write to [email protected] with the article URL and, where you can, the source you are working from. Factual challenges are answered first, usually within two working days. If you are right, the article is fixed and the change appears here with your correction credited if you want it to be.

Challenges to compliance content are especially welcome. Regulations are amended more often than summaries of them are, and an article that was accurate when written can quietly stop being accurate.

6 August — primary sources added across four categories

Every article in compliance and safety, telematics and GPS, fleet maintenance, and costs and ROI now carries a Sources section at the foot linking the primary document rather than describing it: the eCFR part, the EU regulation on EUR-Lex, DVSA and AEPD guidance, EDPB guidelines, the IFRS standard, and the Spanish Ministry of Transport and DGT for weights and dimensions.

This closed a gap between what the About page claimed and what the articles actually did. The claim has also been narrowed to state exactly which categories carry sources, because the earlier wording implied all of them did.

6 August — explanatory diagrams added to sixteen articles

Sixteen articles gained an original diagram setting out something the prose was carrying alone: the hours-of-service duty clock, the anatomy of a cost per mile, the whole-life cost of a vehicle, the service-time distribution against the planned average, the preventive-maintenance interval trade-off, the settlement chain, the proof-of-delivery evidence chain, the telematics data pipeline, the software selection funnel, the payback curve including implementation cost, and others.

Where a diagram shows proportions, its caption says they illustrate the structure rather than serving as a benchmark. Inventing precise-looking figures and presenting them as findings would defeat the purpose of citing sources everywhere else.

6 August — publisher identification changed

The publisher's tax identification number has been removed from the public legal notice. Full identification remains available on request to anyone with a legitimate interest, and the notice says so. Name, town, country and a working email address remain published.

The site's own cookie banner has been withdrawn in favour of a consent management platform certified against IAB TCF v2.2, which is what Google requires to serve advertising to visitors in the European Economic Area, the United Kingdom and Switzerland. Google Consent Mode v2 remains set to denied in the head of every page, before any advertising or analytics code is allowed to run.

6 August — language declaration corrected

The pages declared en_US while the prose is written in British English throughout. They now declare en-GB. URL slugs remain in US spelling, which is deliberate and explained in the editorial policy.
