Better drivers = better business!

For many employees, driving for work is pivotal to the smooth running of the business, whether that’s delivering goods, driving with a colleague, or travelling to a meeting.

Employers who have staff driving for work purposes have a duty of care to manage work related road risk.

That’s where our DriveWise portfolio of services can help!

This is why we work with each client, using data from a range of sources, to create a programme that will help your organisation to operate more profitably and more safely.

Restrictions lifted… should you be training your drivers?

Following prolonged periods of working from home, employees are now starting to drive their company vehicles again. The risk to these drivers is increased due to the following factors:

  • Apprehension about driving again
  • Longer journeys being undertaken
  • Less driving experience
  • Tighter deadlines
  • Heavier traffic flow

The potential cost associated with sorting out a collision can be very high when taking into account the repair bills, time lost when a person is off work, administration expenses, use of a hire car etc.

With the cost of incidents increasing and the national UK average across all vehicle types* currently stand at…

  • £26,840 for a minor collision
  • £260,000 for a serious collision
  • £2.26m for a fatality

The question you should be asking is… ‘Can I afford not to train my drivers?’

How can DriveWise help?

DriveWise provides 1:1 driver training, nationally. We use DVSA approved trainers and can deliver solutions based on specific requirements, including:
