The programme

Three modules. Each stands alone.

Companies come to us for one of four reasons. Each module stands alone — but the three together are what change the standard, and what deliver the most for the money.

Module one

Driver training

Roadcraft taught in the classroom, then every driver assessed on real roads in their own company vehicle, then coached on the specific faults found and given a written debrief.

  1. Segment 1

    Roadcraft classroom training

    The system of car control taught first: information, position, speed, gear and acceleration, together with observation and anticipation, hazard identification, road surface and grip, steering technique and the causes of skidding. Every driver goes out to the vehicle working to the same method.

  2. Segment 2

    Assessment drive

    Each driver assessed in their own company vehicle, on real roads, in normal conditions.

    30 min
    Assessment of current driving and implementation of Roadcraft skills
    10 min
    Assessment of Roadcraft
    20 min
    Reinforcement of Roadcraft skills
    2 hrs
    Observation of Roadcraft skills
  3. Segment 3

    Instruction and debrief

    A coached drive addressing the specific points raised for that individual, followed by a written debrief: what was done well, what needs work, and the agreed actions the driver takes away.

Module two

Health screening

Run privately alongside the driving day — four measures, and a personal package every driver takes home.

What we measure on the day

  1. 01

    Blood pressure, heart rate, oxygen

    The risk most likely to be carried into work undetected.

  2. 02

    Body composition — InBody 270

    Body fat, skeletal muscle, visceral fat and hydration, in place of BMI alone.

  3. 03

    Hand grip strength

    A reliable marker of general physical capacity, relevant to steering control.

  4. 04

    VO₂ max — step test

    Cardiovascular fitness and the capacity to stay sharp across a long driving day.

What every driver takes away

  • A personal written report

    Every test interpreted and compared to population norms, with prioritised actions.

  • A nutrition plan

    A calorie and macronutrient target, with forty meal options built for life on the road.

  • An eight-week training programme

    A structured progressive plan — and a personal follow-up several weeks later.

Module three

Your company policy

Your own driver policy, broken down into plain terms and taught as your standard — with a report back on what your drivers raise as we go through it.

A driver policy being signed
  1. 01

    Legal foundations and your responsibilities

    What the law requires of a driver on the road, and where personal liability actually sits.

  2. 02

    Your company policy

    Your existing policy, broken down and taught section by section — what it requires of the driver, and what you owe them in return.

  3. 03

    Vehicle inspection and defect reporting

    Daily and weekly checks, what to record, and how a defect gets reported and closed out.

  4. 04

    Journey planning and fatigue management

    Realistic scheduling, break discipline, and recognising fatigue before it becomes a hazard.

  5. 05

    When things go wrong: incidents and response

    What to do at the scene, who to notify, and how an incident is reported and investigated.

  6. 06

    Hazard perception and vulnerable road users

    Reading developing risk, and the extra margin owed to cyclists, pedestrians and motorcyclists.

  7. 07

    Compliance and audits

    What gets audited, what evidence is expected, and how to stay demonstrably compliant.

  8. 08

    Professionalism

    And five specific things every driver can start next Monday to improve their driving.

On the day

The programme comes to your depot, anywhere in the country.

Practicalities

What is needed on site

The programme comes to the depot. Nothing clinical needs to be arranged by the company.

Provided by Drivewise

  • InBody body composition analyser
  • VALD testing equipment
  • Health coach and exercise professionals
  • Advanced driving instructors
  • The training venue, arranged by us

Provided by the company

  • The drivers’ own company vehicles
  • Confirmed rosters and participation slots
  • A named coordinator for scheduling

Further options

  • Bloods, ECG and drug & alcohol testing for at-risk groups
  • Digital app — health tips, reminders and fatigue tracking between visits

What the company sees

Two kinds of data, treated differently

It is worth being clear about the line before we start — and it is the question fleet managers ask first.

What we report to you

  • Driving assessment findings, by name — faults and agreed actions
  • A driving risk profile for the group — low, medium and high
  • A policy feedback report — where your own policy is unclear, impractical or not being followed
  • Attendance, completion and training records
  • Anonymised health trends, where Module Two is taken

What we never report

  • Any individual’s health result — no readings, no diagnoses, no names
  • Anything that could identify a driver within a small group
  • We do not declare anyone fit or unfit to drive; that is a doctor’s call

Why

Driving performance is work performance — it is yours to see. Health information is special category data under GDPR. It belongs to the driver, and it is not ours to pass on.

If something urgent shows up

Any driver whose results need urgent attention is told on the day, directed to their GP, and that advice is recorded. Your own driver policy is what requires them to notify you.

The ask

Three steps, and a first cohort can be in the diary.

  1. 01

    Confirm scope

    A short session to agree driver numbers, locations and dates — and to set the cost per cohort against your own numbers.

  2. 02

    Run a first cohort

    A single day. Every driver assessed, coached and debriefed on the road, with a written report on their own drive.

  3. 03

    Report and schedule

    An anonymised summary within two weeks, then a plan on rolling out across the country and re-testing annually.

Every cohort we have assessed has surfaced faults the drivers did not know they had. On this evidence, your drivers are carrying the same habits today — the only question is whether anyone has looked.
