Driver Development
Whilst the motoring population at large will readily put themselves forward for training for such activities as sports or some job–related pursuit, so many will be reticent about training to a higher grade of road driver.
Road driving for some just represents a means to an end, as in a method of getting from one place to another quickly and comfortably.
As an employer you have a legal responsibility to manage the road safety and driver development of all your drivers to ensure others are not put at risk by their driving activities. Driver development is often an area overlooked when considering the continuing professional development of your employees, despite some staff who spend the majority of their working day behind the wheel of a vehicle.
If you employ more than five employees you should have a written policy to cover your employees work related road safety.
Why wait until your employee is convicted of a motoring offence or involved in a collision.
It is recommended that each driver of a company vehicle complete an assessment. Recommendations for individual driver training will be directly related to their level of risk (high, medium, low) and specific areas for development as highlighted throughout the risk assessment process.
Driver development with Drivetime Driver Training Solutions will show you how to read the road and understand that events that happen on the roads are predictable and can be foreseen. It improves understanding of the vehicle; improved level of concentration and use of all round observation; improved anticipation; ability to deal systematically with hazards; improved mental attitude.
Learning how to anticipate and develop an awareness of other road users, weather and road conditions, pedestrians, cyclists, animals or any other possible hazards, are skills that will keep you safer and make your driving experience a far more relaxing one.
