In queuing traffic, you should keep the crossing clear.

You should take extra care where the view of either side of the crossing is blocked by queuing traffic or incorrectly parked vehicles. Pedestrians may be crossing between stationary vehicles.

Allow pedestrians plenty of time to cross and do not harass them by revving your engine or edging forward.

Zebra crossings. As you approach a zebra crossing

· look out for pedestrians waiting to cross and be ready to slow down or stop to let them cross

· you MUST give way when a pedestrian has moved onto a crossing

· allow more time for stopping on wet or icy roads

· do not wave or use your horn to invite pedestrians across; this could be dangerous if another vehicle is approaching

You MUST use headlights when visibility is seriously reduced, generally when you cannot see for more than 100 metres (328 feet). You may also use front or rear fog lights but you MUST switch them off when visibility improves.

Wet weather. In wet weather, stopping distances will be at least double those required for stopping on dry roads. This is because your tyres have less grip on the road. In wet weather

§  you should keep well back from the vehicle in front. This will increase your ability to see and plan ahead

§  if the steering becomes unresponsive, it probably means that water is preventing the tyres from gripping the road. Ease off the accelerator and slow down gradually

§  the rain and spray from vehicles may make it difficult to see and be seen

§  be aware of the dangers of spilt diesel that will make the surface very slippery (see ‘Vehicle maintenance, safety and security’)

§  take extra care around pedestrians, cyclists, motorcyclists and horse riders

Icy and snowy weather

In winter check the local weather forecast for warnings of icy or snowy weather. DO NOT drive in these conditions unless your journey is essential. If it is, take great care and allow more time for your journey. Take an emergency kit of de-icer and ice scraper, torch, warm clothing and boots, first aid kit, jump leads and a shovel, together with a warm drink and emergency food in case you get stuck or your vehicle breaks down.

Before you set off

·         you MUST be able to see, so clear all snow and ice from all your windows

·         you MUST ensure that lights are clean and number plates are clearly visible and legible

·         make sure the mirrors are clear and the windows are demisted thoroughly

·         remove all snow that might fall off into the path of other road users

·         check your planned route is clear of delays and that no further snowfalls or severe weather are predicted

When driving in icy or snowy weather

·         drive with care, even if the roads have been treated

·         keep well back from the road user in front as stopping distances can be ten times greater than on dry roads

·         take care when overtaking vehicles spreading salt or other de-icer, particularly if you are riding a motorcycle or cycle

·         watch out for snowploughs which may throw out snow on either side. Do not overtake them unless the lane you intend to use has been cleared

·         be prepared for the road conditions to change over relatively short distances

·         listen to travel bulletins and take note of variable message  signs that may provide information about weather, road and traffic conditions ahead

Drive extremely carefully when the roads are icy. Avoid sudden actions as these could cause loss of control. You should

·         drive at a slow speed in as high a gear as possible; accelerate and brake very gently

·         drive particularly slowly on bends where loss of control is more likely. Brake progressively on the straight before you reach a bend. Having slowed down, steer smoothly round the bend, avoiding sudden actions

·         check your grip on the road surface when there is snow or ice by choosing a safe place to brake gently. If the steering feels unresponsive this may indicate ice and your vehicle losing its grip on the road. When travelling on ice, tyres make virtually no noise

·         Windy weather

High-sided vehicles are most affected by windy weather, but strong gusts can also blow a car, cyclist, motorcyclist or horse rider off course. This can happen on open stretches of road exposed to strong crosswinds, or when passing bridges or gaps in hedges.

In very windy weather your vehicle may be affected by turbulence created by large vehicles. Motorcyclists are particularly affected, so keep well back from them when they are overtaking a high-sided vehicle.

Fog

Before entering fog check your mirrors then slow down. If the word ‘Fog’ is shown on a roadside signal but the road is clear, be prepared for a bank of fog or drifting patchy fog ahead. Even if it seems to be clearing, you can suddenly find yourself in thick fog.

When driving in fog you should

·         use your lights as required

·         keep a safe distance behind the vehicle in front. Rear lights can give a false sense of security

·         be able to pull up well within the distance you can see clearly. This is particularly important on motorways and dual carriageways, as vehicles are travelling faster

·         use your windscreen wipers and demisters

·         beware of other drivers not using headlights

·         not accelerate to get away from a vehicle which is too close behind you

·         check your mirrors before you slow down. Then use your brakes so that your brake lights warn drivers behind you that you are slowing down

·         stop in the correct position at a junction with limited visibility and listen for traffic. When you are sure it is safe to emerge, do so positively and do not hesitate in a position that puts you directly in the path of approaching vehicles

You MUST NOT use front or rear fog lights unless visibility is seriously reduced as they dazzle other road users and can obscure your brake lights. You MUST switch them off when visibility improves.

Hot weather. Keep your vehicle well ventilated to avoid drowsiness. Be aware that the road surface may become soft or if it rains after a dry spell it may become slippery. These conditions could affect your steering and braking. If you are dazzled by bright sunlight, slow down and if necessary, stop.

Train to become a fully qualified driving instructor, and work for yourself. A driving instructor training course with Blue School of Motoring Ltd can help you to pass all of the qualifying exams.

The Driving Instructor Tests
The 3 Tests cover the road you need to take to qualify as a Driving Instructor.

Part’s 1,2 & 3

The qualification examination is in three parts:

• a computer based theory test

• a practical test of your driving ability

• a practical test of your ability to instruct

You must take and pass all three parts of the examination in this order and you must complete the whole examination within two years of passing the theory test. If you are unable to complete the examinations within this time you must start again from the beginning and pass each part again.

You can take the theory test as many times as you want but you are only allowed a maximum of three attempts at each of the practical tests within each two year qualification period. Additionally, you cannot start the qualifying process again until two years has passed since you last passed your theory test.

Most people undertake training with an organisation which specialises in this field and we would recommend that you do so. This is not a legal requirement and you can apply for the examinations without having undertaken formal training. However, you may find it difficult to pass if you don’t. The qualifying process is not easy, and the pass rates are not high.

The pass rates for each of the three parts of the examination in 2006/2007 were:

Theory test (part 1): 49%

Test of driving ability (part 2): 45%

Corporate Manslaughter & Fleet Training

Firms which fail to ensure staff drive safely in their company car are likely to be a prime target for new Corporate Manslaughter legislation.  Police will check that staff are properly insured, have an MoT test for their vehicles and have a valid driving license. They will also check that managers are not making excessive demands on employees by forcing them to drive when tired.

Blue School of Motoring can provide the complete training and audit package to fit in with your company, the deals with Corporate Manslaughter

• We will provide the trainers, to asses your staff.
• We will work with you and structure a training programme
• We will write a Risk Assessment document that provides guidance for all staff.
• We will provide expert guidance and advice long after our first visit to your company.

ASSESSING RISKS ON THE ROAD

Risk assessments for any work-related driving activity should follow the same principles as

risk assessments for any other work activity. You should bear in mind that failure to properly

manage work-related road safety is more likely to endanger other people than a failure to

properly manage risks in the workplace.

A risk assessment is nothing more than a careful examination of what at work activities can

cause harm to people. It helps you to weigh up whether you have done enough to ensure

safe working practices or should do more to prevent harm. Your risk assessment should be

appropriate to the circumstances of your organisation and does not have to be over complex

or technical. It should be carried out by a competent person with a practical knowledge of

the work activities being assessed. For most small businesses, and the self-employed, the

hazards will be easy to identify. Employers who employ less than five people do not have to

record their findings, but they may find it helpful to make some notes.

Training

Are you satisfied that your drivers are properly trained?

_ Do you evaluate whether those that drive at work require additional training to carry

out their duties safely?

_ Do you provide induction training for drivers?

_ Do you arrange for drivers to be trained giving priority to those at highest risk,

eg those with high annual mileage, poor accident records, or young drivers?

_ Do drivers need to know how to carry out routine safety checks such as those on lights,

tyres and wheel fixings?

_ Do drivers know how to correctly adjust safety equipment, eg seat belts and

head restraints?

_ Do drivers know how to use anti-lock brakes (ABS) properly?

_ Do drivers know how to check washer fluid levels before starting a journey?

_ Do drivers know how to ensure safe load distribution, eg when undertaking

multi-drop operations?

_ Do drivers know what actions to take to ensure their own safety following the

breakdown of their vehicle?

_ Do you need to provide a handbook for drivers giving advice and information on

road safety?

_ Are drivers aware of the dangers of fatigue?

_ Do they know what they should do if they start to feel sleepy?

_ Are drivers fully aware of the height of their vehicle, both laden and empty? There are

estimated to be around three to six major bridge strikes every day.

DRIVING AT

The aim is to make the risk of someone being injured or killed, as low as possible.

Hazard means anything that can cause harm.

Risk is the chance, high or low, that someone will be harmed by the hazard.

Aimed at reducing the personal and financial costs to a company or organisation of road traffic incidents involving staff and the public.

Some 65% of road traffic crashes/accidents involve a vehicle driven on company business.

Companies are not immune from the real costs of crashes/accidents involving staff whilst driving in their own time for personal and private business.

Added to the personal suffering of employees and families, organisations can suffer tremendous financial loss through down time, lost production etc when a partner or family member is involved in a road traffic incident.

The benefits of such programmes extend beyond the company or organisation as information is disseminated to family, friends and the general public.

Courses can combine both theory and practical training. The theory aspect looks at the risks to individuals and offers coping strategies tailored to the organisation. The practical in-car assessments and training raise awareness of the individual driver to their responsibilities.

improve your drivers confidence and ability

Develop a positive attitude towards driving and other road users

-       improve your concentration

-       become more observant

-       analyse and anticipate the actions of others

-       create space and time to deal with hazards or your own or other’s mistakes.

-       reduce vehicle abuse, and associated insurance costs.

BTEC Award in Driving Science

Blue School of Motoring Ltd can provide the BTEC in Driving Science.  Do you know anyone that has been killed or badly hurt in a car crash? Most people between 15 and 25 know at least one person who has and that’s not surprising because1 in 5 new drivers will crash within a year of passing their test. The BTEC in Driving Science has been designed to make you a better driver from day one, so after passing your test you will be above the required standard and safer on the road.

Contact Blue

Driving statistics tell us that 17-24 year old drivers are seriously over represented in accidents that cause death and serious injury. The BTEC in Driving Science addresses the importance of integrating the right attitude with car control skills in a comprehensive novice driver programme.

Most young people will learn to drive, but not many will gain an academic qualification whilst doing it! The BTEC in Driving Science, accredited by Edexcel, is the world’s first academic qualification in novice driver training. It offers a chance for you to not only become a safer driver for life, but to add differentiation to your CV.

The BTEC in Driving Science is completed over a normal course of driving lessons. It will result in a more fully informed driver with a full appreciation of all the factors that influence safety. More than that, insurance companies think the BTEC is so good, they are willing to offer much reduced insurance once you enrol.

How does it work?

The BTEC in Driving Science is taught during normal driving lessons. It follows a structured driving curriculum, encompassing the European Goals of Driver Education.

You will be taught by a fully trained Blue driving instructor, who will follow the most comprehensive driver education programme in the UK. On completion of the BTEC, you will have gained a full UK driving licence and will have reached an advanced standard of driving, inclusive of motorway and night driving.

Can I do the BTEC if I am already learning to drive?

The BTEC can only be delivered by accredited driving instructors, so if you haven’t been learning with one, you will have to have an assessment drive with Blue, at which point any prior learning can be accredited with towards completion of the BTEC. You can commence the BTEC at any stage of your driving development.

How much will it cost?

It costs £175. The BTEC integrates into normal driving lessons, so you will still have to pay for them as usual. Remember though, post test elements like motorway and driving at night are included and that the great financial benefits that come with the qualification should more than cover the cost of the course itself.

Will it improve my driving?

Believe it or not, the front part of our brains doesn’t fully develop until we’re about 25 and when you consider this part of the brain controls things like impulse, emotion, risk-management and eye movement, it’s easy to see why so many young drivers are coming unstuck. Add to this the fact that 19 out of 20 crashes are down to attitude and behaviour rather than driving technique and its clearer still. The BTEC has been designed to stimulate development of your brain’s frontal lobe, it will accelerate your competence in driving and make you better able to spot and deal with hazards as they unfold.

Can it save me money?

Absolutely, in one word – insurance. The only reason insurance for young drivers is so expensive is because of all the insurance claims they make! A number of insurance companies recognise that by passing the BTEC you’ll be less likely to make a claim, so in turn they’ll cut the cost of your premium by as much as 50%. If you would like to find out how much you could save exactly, contact us and we will arrange for someone to give you a quote.

Are there any other benefits?

There are many benefits, both social and financial for doing the BTEC in Driving Science. On completion of the BTEC in Driving Science, you will be awarded a vocational qualification (GCSE equivalent), which in turn provides you with improved employability and differentiation. You’ll also get some night driving and motorway experience (because this is included in the post-test module); giving you added confidence for when you have to hit the M-roads alone, or perhaps worse still, with a car full of people. If this isn’t enough, BTEC graduates are automatically given membership to a new young driver motoring club (so new the name has yet to be decided!) with many motoring and lifestyle benefits and discounts.  Most importantly however, you will have the opportunity to become a safer and more responsible driver.

What is the e-learning suite all about?

The frontal lobe (the part of the brain that anticipates danger and assesses risk) is not developed until about 25 years of age.19 out of 20 road crashes are caused by attitude and behaviour (i.e. human factors such as distraction) rather than any lack of vehicle handling skills. The e-learning suite is split into two sections: highway and mind.

Highway develops knowledge and challenges attitudes in relation to driver behaviour.

Mind is designed to accelerate executive brain functions development, improve eye scanning, hazard awareness, risk management and to prioritise risk and thus improve decision making. It is proven to accelerate the maturation of the frontal lobe.

The e-learning suite is a beneficial educational tool and builds experience of the risks of driving from the comfort of the classroom or from home.

What is a BTEC?

A BTEC intermediate level is an academic qualification equivalent to a GCSE. It is accredited by Edexcel, the UK’s largest awarding body. Edexcel provide academic and vocational qualifications to more than 25,000 places of learning here, and in over 100 countries worldwide. In the UK, Edexcel offers qualifications and testing in more than 24,000 schools, 450 further education colleges, more than 80 higher education institutions, 600 public and private sector employers and, increasingly, e-learning providers. Edexcel will verify the quality of the course and its delivery.
