Hazard Awareness and Defensive Driving Techniques
The main part of the training on this course teaches your employees to improve their awareness and observation skills and so reduce their driver risk levels.

Your drivers will be encouraged to drive in a more eco-friendly and fuel efficient
way and with more mechanical sympathy to the vehicle.
