Customer Feedback
Why Is Driver Awareness Training Important?
Even minor road incidents can result in significant costs for employers. Vehicle damage, increased insurance premiums and accident claims quickly add up. In more serious cases, injuries or fatalities can lead to devastating legal and reputational consequences.
Occupational drivers spend long hours on the road, so are more exposed to risks such as distraction and speeding. Our driving safety awareness courses help learners recognise these hazards, maintain focus and control speed across a range of conditions.
Providing this training supports legal compliance, improves safety outcomes and protects your organisation from avoidable incidents, costs and claims.
About Driver Awareness Courses
For occupational drivers, a minor lapse in judgment can cause a major accident. Trainees who complete these online driver awareness courses will recognise the vital need to concentrate and maintain safe speeds while driving. Safe driving awareness training also reinforces practices that reduce accident risks.
