PRACTICAL ROAD SAFETY

Our driver training in safety driving is a theoretical and practical driver training according to the Swedish Work Environment Authority's recommendations for you who drive a company car in your work.
 
We start the day off with a road safety theory-session before moving on to the practical driver training, which consists of different exercises on our test track and slipway.
 
It is a comprehensive road safety training where we go through and practice precision maneuvering, straight braking with reaction time exercise, brake with escape maneuver and finally slippery driving on our slipway. Driver training in road safety takes half a day to complete and we conclude by summarizing the day before everyone who has participated in the education receives their diplomas.

The driver training 

The initial road safety theory is adapted to your car policy but includes:

• Discussion about the participants' experiences in traffic
• Risk factors in the traffic environment and measures for risk minimization, the importance of speed, fatigue and distractions in traffic
• Loading safety and overloading
• Tire knowledge and the importance of road construction
• Vehicle technical safety system
• Review of current accident statistics and how to act in the event of an accident or arrival at an accident site.

Precision Operation (Low Speed Operation)
Purpose: To learn how to maneuver the vehicle in confined spaces safely
both internal and external rear-view mirrors and other technical safety equipment.

Straight braking with reaction time exercise
Purpose: To become aware of the speed's influence on the braking distance of the current surface and to brake properly in a panic situation.

Brake with escape maneuver
Purpose: To sit, look and control the right and to gain knowledge of how a modern car behaves at a powerful maneuver on the current subject matter. Be aware of how you react and act in a difficult traffic situation and learn to understand the importance of speed for road safety and to use the car's modern safety system correctly.

Driving on slipway
Purpose: To sit, look and control the right and to gain knowledge of how a modern car behaves at a heavy maneuver on slippery surfaces simulated on our slipway. Be aware of how you react and act in a difficult traffic situation on winter roads
