Abstract:

The aims of the guide are to:

  • Outline the elements of Safe and Fuel Efficient Driving (SAFED) training specifically relevant to the driving of vans
  • Define the qualifications, skills and experience required by trainers intending to deliver the SAFED training programme to candidate drivers
  • Explain the content, and assist in the delivery, of the one-day SAFED training course designed to improve the safe and fuel efficient driving techniques of existing van drivers
  • SAFED for Vans has been designed as a single course aimed at improving the safe and fuel efficient driving techniques of LCV drivers.

    Safer driving means:

  • Less injuries and fatalities on our roads
  • Less accident damage to vehicles
  • Less unproductive downtime for vehicle repair
  • The potential for reduced insurance premiums
  • Fuel efficiency means:
  • Lower costs
  • Improved profit margins
  • Reduced emissions
  • Improved environmental performance
  • SAFED training has been developed specifically to enable both fleet operators and training providers to implement driver training within the LCV industry. It provides training and development for existing LCV drivers through instruction relating to vehicle craft and road craft

    The guide is for training providers, fleet operators, in-house driver trainers and LCV drivers. It outlines the principles of SAFED and provides a step-by-step guide through the one-day SAFED training course

    This guide is divided into the following sections:
    1. Background
