New Green Driving Video Preview Andy Turner, June 30th 2010
The general trend for fuel prices is up and research shows that road traffic is the second biggest cause of global warming. Yet it would be hard for most of us to live without a car.
Drive Smarter modules always contain a message about greener driving. However, if you require an e-Learning module that focuses solely on the subject, then try our new module - Techniques for Greener Driving. Below you can preview the video but for a complete demo, including a preview of our e-Learning system, contact us today.
New Multilingual Capabilities Andy Turner, May 24th 2010
If your organisation has operations in other parts of the world, you may be interested in knowing that we have just launched a multilingual capability to our entire system. This means that, as well as creating videos in the language(s) of your choice, we can also translate every part of the web product (from the multiple-choice questions and answers through to the smallest error message) into any language.
Oxfordshire Fire and Rescue begins
Drive Smarter e-Learning Programme James Luckhurst, May 17th 2010
We are very pleased to welcome Oxfordshire Fire and Rescue Service as a new customer. A group of their staff, both front-line and non-uniform, have embarked on a three-year Drive Smarter e-Learning programme. Driver Training Manager Kevin Dell said he had chosen us because we allowed him to go a long way towards achieving compliance, while also ensuring a top-class user experience. “Drive Smarter offered us a trial of their system. I chose 20 colleagues from across the Service to take part. Their feedback was unanimously positive, and I am delighted that we were able to make a business case for purchasing a programme and introducing this style of learning through the Service. I have high hopes for its long-term success,” he said.
Client study shows the real financial benefits of our driver safety programme Andy Turner, May 12th 2010
We are well aware that, in today’s economic climate, it can be difficult to justify to the Finance Director that spending money on driver safety is a good idea. But why not let the figures speak for themselves! We have just completed a study, with one of our clients, to demonstrate the very clear benefit of what their Drive Smarter programme saved them, compared with what it cost them. For example, their drivers who completed the programme reported a 30% reduction in incidents, an almost 50% reduction in accidental damage costs and an average saving of nearly £400 on the cost of a motor damage claim. We would be happy to share more details of this compelling study - contact us today for a copy.
Blue Light Aware Campaign: Sponsorship needed! James Luckhurst, May 10th 2010
As a road user, do you know what to do when there’s an emergency vehicle coming past on a blue light run? The sight and sound of a police car, fire engine or ambulance tends to cause many of us to tense up and panic. The result can be that we hinder rather than help the emergency vehicle, and we also risk putting ourselves in danger. Drive Smarter is working with the emergency services to help remove that tension and panic. We will be producing a short, informative movie that sets out clearly what to do in these situations - and what NOT to do. There are currently opportunities for involvement and sponsorship. We are working towards a high profile national launch later in the year, so it is an exciting project to be involved with.
What concerns do the public have when it comes to assisting Blue Light drivers? James Luckhurst, January 20th 2010
Drive Smarter’s James Luckhurst assumed it would little more than whether or not to move across a red traffic signal when he put out a request for questions and comments to the readers of Good Motoring magazine. But he found there were questions on all sorts of issues, which he was able to put to Inspector Mary Chapman of Thames Valley Police, Kevin Dell of Oxfordshire Fire and Rescue and Jon Porter of South Central Ambulance. He first asked Jon Porter about how someone with a hearing impairment – and therefore a reduced ability to hear sirens - might best assist a blue light driver...
