A respected online driver risk assessment group recently reported that nearly one in ten commercial vehicle operators in the UK were ‘’high risk’’ drivers.
A survey conducted by E-Training World measured drivers of company cars, vans and HGV in terms of hazard perception, knowledge, attitude, observational skills and awareness. The survey revealed that 9% of drivers ranked as high risk, while 68% were medium risk and 23% were low risk.
The group added that vehicle tracking systems can have a positive impact on road safety by improving drivers’ awareness of traffic circumstances.
