Drivetech announces a new Funeralcare On-Road Risk Reduction course designed for funeral care providers.

This half-day training program is tailored to those driving ceremonial vehicles, including hearses, limousines, and private ambulances, offering targeted support for the unique challenges these drivers face.

 

Why This Course Matters

Driving ceremonial vehicles requires more than just road skills—it demands a high level of professionalism, composure under pressure, and the ability to safely navigate sensitive environments. This course aims to equip drivers with the tools they need to maintain their professionalism and reduce the risk of incidents while behind the wheel.

By focusing on reducing accidents and improving driving standards, the course addresses common concerns for those in the funeral care sector. Each session is adapted to meet the needs of individual participants, with trainers identifying and prioritising high-risk areas to ensure personalised development.

 

What Drivers Will Learn

Ceremonial vehicle drivers frequently deal with congested traffic, tight schedules, and high expectations from passengers. These pressures can lead to stress, distractions, and increased risk of accidents. Drivetech’s course aims to help drivers manage these challenges by teaching essential skills such as:

  • Identifying and reacting to potential accident risks earlier.
  • Recognising hazards quickly and effectively.
  • Employing advanced driving techniques to reduce both risk and stress.
  • Managing the emotional and psychological pressures of driving in a professional capacity.
  • Efficiently recognising and adhering to speed limits.
  • On completion of the course, each driver will also create a personal action plan to improve their Driver ABCs—attitude, behaviour, and competence – ensuring long-term commitment to safer driving practices.

 

A Tailored Approach to Driver Safety

Nick Butler, Director at Drivetech, commented: “By focusing on the unique risks and behaviours of each driver, we can provide a truly personalised training experience. Our aim is to encourage safer driving habits and reduce the likelihood of accidents. We look forward to supporting the funeral care sector in raising safety standards and enhancing driver wellbeing.”
