TRAFFIC SAFETY TRAINING

Our driver training in traffic safety is a complete full-day program that consists of theoretical and practical driver training according to the recommendations of the Swedish Work Environment Authority for those who drive a company car or corporate vehicle. The client receives a course certificate after completing the training for follow-up and documentation.

We begin the training with traffic safety theory, which includes information about the importance of speed, load safety, and the use of the car's various safety systems. The course also includes a theory session where we go through actions at an accident site and teach eco-driving and how to use a rechargeable car in everyday life.

The practical part of the traffic safety training starts with instructions on driving position and steering grip. The instructor then goes through the technical functionalities of electric and hybrid cars and how to charge the car most efficiently. We then practice precision maneuvering, straight braking with distance assessment, braking with evasive maneuvering, and finally simulated winter driving on a skid track.

The driver education

Traffic Safety Theory: (Can be adapted to your car policy.)
  • Discussion about participants' experiences in traffic.
  • Driving techniques that increase personal safety.
  • Distractions while driving, such as mobile phones, passengers, and how to avoid stress.
  • Risk factors in the traffic environment and measures for risk minimization, the importance of speed, fatigue, and the rules that apply when driving under the influence of alcohol, drugs, and medications.
  • Load safety and the importance of securing your load and the impact of overloading.
  • What increases the risks when driving with the wrong attitude and incorrect behavior and how it can be avoided.
  • Tire knowledge and the importance of road conditions.
  • The difference between active and passive safety.
  • The technical safety systems of vehicles.
  • Review of current accident statistics and how to act in an accident or arrival at an accident site.
  • Eco-driving and how to effectively reduce environmental impact when driving.

Practical Exercises:
  • Driving position and steering grip: Before driving, we show how to sit correctly in the car and the importance of adjusting the steering wheel and using the car's seat belt. We teach steering grip and the technique to use during an evasive maneuver.

  • Knowledge of how to charge an electric and hybrid car: We go through how and where to charge your vehicle. We look at the connections available and what to consider before and after charging.

  • Eco-driving, practical: To show how you as a driver can achieve a 10-20% fuel reduction and reduced environmental impact with a changed driving style without losing any time or speed.

  • Precision maneuvering (low-speed maneuvering): To learn to maneuver the vehicle in tight spaces safely using both internal and external mirrors and other technical safety equipment.

  • Straight braking with distance assessment: To become aware of the impact of speed on braking distance on the current surface and to brake correctly in a panic situation.

  • Braking with evasive maneuvering: To sit, look, and steer correctly and to gain knowledge of how a modern car behaves during a sharp maneuver on the current surface. Become aware of how you react and act in a difficult traffic situation and learn to understand the importance of speed for traffic safety and to use the car's modern safety systems correctly.

  • Skid driving on a skid track: To sit, look, and steer correctly and to gain knowledge of how a modern car behaves during a sharp maneuver on a slippery surface simulated on our skid track. Become aware of how you react and act in a difficult traffic situation on winter roads.
