The majority of your time as a lorry driver will be spent on motorways, which happens to be where most road traffic collisions (RTC) occur. Therefore, having a more comprehensive understanding of how RTCs happen and how to reduce risks presented by them is essential. Having this knowledge can save your and other road users’ lives by identifying and eliminating risky situations.
When enrolling with this driver CPC training, you’re essentially reducing the exposure to risk while driving. In addition to reducing your own personal risk, it’s also decreasing the chances of other road users being in a collision. Due to the considerable amount of time spent on high-speed roads, including this within your driver training is essential.
Course includes:
- Collision rates and causes
- Speed awareness
- Methods of identifying risky situations
- Common driver distractions
- Weather conditions
- Approaching hazards
- Smart motorways
- Fuel economy
- Drink/drugs and driving
- Mental wellbeing
The topic itself is three and a half hours long (half day), meaning it’ll need to be combined with another CPC course we offer.
