LGV & PCV Driver Training


We all think we know how to drive! Most of us are also very good at putting to right the bad driving of others. However, if we really were that good a driver, accidents would significantly reduce and road traffic would flow more freely - but it doesn't. There is no getting away from the fact that Company fleet Insurance premiums are high and likely to stay that way. However, it is also the case that Insurers recognise driver risk assessment and training and in most cases will take this into account in your annual renewal premiums. There are also other benefits from having better trained drivers, such as - reduced fuel bills, reduction in maintenance costs and longer vehicle life. Couple this to having more knowledgable and safer drivers and everyone benefits. This is where DriveSmarter can help, as a risk assessment and driver training aid customised to suit your company requirements. Drivesmarter is a series of video modules on Road Safety which can be customised for individual companies training programs. The modules can be used in any order and frequency you want, you can set the test pass marks and you can control how results and feedback are provided. Drive Smarter includes
Top quality videos and informative background notes, with interactive tests to confirm individual understanding. Journey planning and management, risk reduction, self-control and practical tips for safer, greener and more economical journeys, all in 12 modules with complete flexibility of use. Choose all 12 modules in any order over any time period, or opt for fewer if you prefer the 'discovered learning' approach, which means no finger wagging and no patronising. Just the facts.
