YOUR drivers?
• How well do your drivers know the Highway Code and road traffic law? In a recent test by Warwickshire Police, only one candidate out of more than 100 sitting the theory test actually passed. So could you avoid more accidents, costly downtime— even legal action—by training or re-educating your drivers better?
Almost certainly. That's why Commercial Motor has teamed up with Creative Training to offer readers a special discount on Driving Skills for Life. Endorsed by the Driving Standards Agency, this CD-based training pack will help you improve your drivers' standards and techniques, reduce your overall running costs and minimise accidents and other incidents.
Driving Skills for Life is particularly useful for drivers who have not had any training since gaining their HGV entitlement. It aims to sharpen up their under standing of the rules of the road, enhance defensive driving skills and, above all, ensure their driving is safe.
Using a mixture of video and presentation slides, the pack covers every aspect of controlling a vehicle, including vital areas like: • Pre-drive inspection; • Use of mirrors and signals; • Negotiating roundabouts and junctions; • Selecting the correct gear; • Driving for fuel economy; • Reading the road; • Understanding the size of your vehicle; • Motorway driving; • Night driving; • Maintaining the right attitude.
A choice of seven exams are included so you can judge your candidates' progress before, during and after using the pack. Normally costing £250 (ex-VAT), Driving Skills for Life (including CD and workbook) is available to CM readers for just £175 (ex-VAT and P&P) and can be used by anyone as a stand-alone aid to driver safety. Alternatively, Creative Training can run a seminar based on the pack at your premises for groups of drivers, if required.
• For further information or to order your copy, simply fill in the order form and return to: Creative Training, PO Box 50, Rugby, Warwickshire CV22 7QE.
