Fleet Driver Training for Cars & SUVs

The vast majority of vehicles on our roads are passenger cars.

Pass your driving test and you’re away – free to take to the highway – with the possibility of never having a specific training or driving intervention again until much, much later in life. Clocking up the miles is good, but do we really develop and improve, and are we all as safe as we think?

The importance of fleet driver training for cars & SUVs

For most of us the driving test and the Highway Code are distant memories. We might drive to and for work. But could we have slipped into bad habits, could we be safer and more responsible behind the wheel? Do we get distracted, frustrated, angry, or just plain tired from time to time? Are we perhaps more of a risk to ourselves, our passengers, other road users and pedestrians than we might actually think?

Most of us can use the pedals, steering wheel and mainstream car controls and aren’t that bad at all. But ask a room full of drivers if each thinks they are above average and a lot more than half in the room typically raise their hands! But that just doesn’t add up.

And annual road death and serious collision statistics are not improving. Insurance and repair costs are rising. Human life is precious.

How can Drivetech help with fleet driver training for cars & SUVs?

Whether a fleet driver or a “grey fleet” user your organisation has a duty of care and Health & safety legislation to abide by, and Drivetech can help. Every mile driven on the road presents a real risk to your drivers and your business’s reputation.

From licence checking (for validity to legally drive, and to appreciate different levels of penalty points that may be being accumulated) to online driver assessments, online e-learning and training modules, to on road driver coaching, Drivetech offers bespoke solutions to help improve your risk profile, reduce costs and make everyone feel a lot safer.

FAQs

How does the ‘Fleet Risk Health Check’ work & is it worth it?

Drivetech’s Fleet Risk Health Check – PULSE – ensures that you work towards conforming to Health & Safety at Work legislation that extends to your drivers, and will also identify key aspects of your duty of care and whether you are providing this adequately.

My workforce already have valid driving licences, why do I need additional fleet driver training?

A valid driving licence is just the start. Every business that has employees who drive for work purposes have a duty of care to meet and legal and moral obligations, as stated in the Health and Safety Executive’s Driving for Work guidelines. 30% of all road fatalities are amongst those who are driving for work and your business could be liable for their safety and wellbeing.

How long does fleet driver training take with Drivetech?

Driver training is not a one-size-fits-all solution. The length of your training programme depends on the type of training required, which is often based on your risk exposure. Our training methods vary  and include online delivery, on-road and virtual workshops too.

Will my workforce be able to complete car & SUV fleet driver training online?

Yes, we have powerful online training options available many of which can be completed in your own time to suit busy drivers and fleet managers. Contact us to find out more about our online and digital driver safety solutions.

  • Car Assessment

    Our flagship product for assessing a company car driver’s risk has been redeveloped to reflect current best practice. Initially this product was aimed at both car and van drivers but as the product has evolved, the need for vehicle-specific assessments has become more and more evident. This assessment has now been re-designed purely with the car driver in mind. Amongst other things it takes into account any previous driver training intervention your employee may have experienced within a three year period and how often they drive for work.
