Business Case

For many people, driving for work is one of the most dangerous activities they undertake, and employers have a legal duty to assess and manage the associated risks – just as they would for any other work-related activity.

Driver development including defensive driving is an essential part of ongoing skills training, and it's an investment that should pay for itself many times over. Trained drivers are safer, more systematic and positive drivers. They will provide you with fewer and lower accident repair costs, less down-time due to maintenance, savings on fuel and tyres and an enhanced company image.
