Driving safety forward
October 1st 2007 The Princess Royal learned
all about the national
education programme to
make UK roads safer by
tackling drink driving,
speeding and careless
driving during a recent visit
to Shropshire.
She visited the TTC Group
(Telford Training
Consultants), a company
that offers corporate and
public driver training – and
met motorists whose lives
have been affected by drink
driving. The motorists have
each attended an 18 hour
rehabilitation course for
offenders and have helped
raise awareness about the
consequences of drink
driving.
HRH learned from
Shropshire businessman
Vernon Hogg, dealer
principal at Mitsubishi and
Honda, about how
companies are now
educating their employees
to improve driver safety.
“We talked about how we
had brought alcohol
awareness to Shropshire
companies with 100 put
through our courses over
the past year. The
companies employ 10 000
and run 2000 vehicles. She
was very aware about the
employers duty of care
although a lot of employers
are not aware that they are
responsible for their
vehicles,” said Hogg.
The road safety experts
put on tailor made courses,
so that firms can cut the
number of accidents among
company drivers and reduce
driving costs. More articles from TTC Group Ltd: |
