Crash course

Article Abstract:

A driver's license is not a guarantee that an individual can drive safely and with full control. Although they can make a vehicle run, a huge number of drivers lack even the most basic knowledge essential to safe driving, such as the interaction between various car parts, observations about other road users and the dynamics involved when a car is moving. This is precisely why firms should encourage company car drivers to undergo driver training even if they already have licenses. Taking such a precaution would not only save lives, it could also result in cost-savings on fleet insurance premiums for companies. IBM, for instance, found that motivating employees to attend driving courses cut the number of company car accidents by 30% to 50%. It is claimed that, if more than half of company car drivers are made to train, a firm can achieve a 29% reduction in its insurance claims costs.
