As part of our ongoing commitment to keeping our drivers and fellow road users safe a large number of our drivers recently took part in a Safe Urban Driving Course as part of their CPC. These courses are designed to encourage HGV drivers to be more aware of vulnerable road users and reduce the risks of driving in today's busy urban environments.

As noted by the course providers themselves, 

"With the ever increasing number of cyclists, pedestrians and motorcyclists on our roads,it is essential that HGV and PSV drivers understand and are able to operate safely and reduce the risks of driving in today's busy urban environments. There is particular emphasis in the course on cyclists and includes a practical 'on-road' cycle training module to give drivers a 'real life' experience of a cyclist's perspective."
