What the government says:

"Managing driving for work is as much common sense as running any other part of a business - training and planning of all aspects of operations go a long way to bringing avoidable costs under control.

"In creating a work-related road safety ethos as part of their existing health and safety policies, employers not only make savings that can be delivered straight to their bottom lines – they also save lives, playing their part in cutting the number of needless tragedies that take place on our roads every day."

Jim Fitzpatrick, Road Safety Minister, 2008

What Drive & Survive says:

"Statistics prove that one in three road deaths on UK roads are related to someone driving for work. At-work drivers are at a higher risk for many reasons including the length of time they spend on the road and, when coupled with driving on unfamiliar roads, the risk increases.

"The UK sees a variety of international visitors who drive and to ensure these drivers are equipped to drive according to UK road regulations, Drive & Survive has developed the UK Familiarisation training course."
