Driver benefits

Explain the effects of alcohol and drugs on driving performance, including the risks associated with the 'morning after' scenario​.

Increased awareness of the mistaken beliefs surrounding prescription, over-the-counter and recreational drugs.

Explain the consequences of impaired driving on the driver, their workplace and other road users.

Formulate an avoidance strategy and be motivated to make healthy lifestyle choices.

The delivery of the training, presentation methods and clarity of information were all superb. Driving whilst being impaired is a serious issue and, whilst our employees have always been engaged, the positive response we received after the training reinforced the fact we had made the right decision. They felt safe to discuss their individual decisions and readily took part in exercises and asked questions.
