Fleet Driver Training at Defensive Driving Solutions is an investment. Your company will save more than the training cost in just a few months.
Cutting Fuel Costs
Research has shown that drivers who follow the techniques we teach can reduce fuel consumption by 25% - but at current fuel prices a cut of only 5% would make a considerable saving. Our training will improve and update driving skills to develop a smoother driving style which drastically lowers fuel consumption.
Example:
A driver covering 40,000 miles per year at an average fuel consumption of 30 miles per gallon uses 6,070 litres of fuel, at £1-19 per litre equals £7223
Improve that mileage figure to 33 miles per gallon and they’ll use 5518 litres costing £6566
You’ll save £657 every year, for every driver, with a fleet of ten drivers that’s £6,570.
Cutting Maintenance Costs
Our driver training will reduce the wear and tear on your vehicle fleet, reduce the number of minor accidents. This will reduce your maintenance costs and increase the residual value of your vehicle fleet.
Example
The average cost of maintaining a vehicle, excluding fuel, is about 15p per mile, £6,000 per year for the 40,000 annual mileage driver. If we reduce this cost by 10% that’s a further £600 saving each and every year – along with less downtime for the vehicle.
Cutting Accidents
60% of company owned vehicles are involved in an insurance claim every year. And, although we call them accidents, they aren’t. They’re collisions caused by driver error or poor judgement. Defensive driving solutions will improve driving techniques and eliminate a large percentage of your fleet's ‘accidents’.
Insurance companies say the average claim costs £700. If your company’s drivers ‘hit’ the average accident rate 60 % of your drivers will be claiming on your insurance.
Insurance premiums are rising by around 25% every year.
Defensive Driving Solution trained drivers can cut their accident rate by 25%.
Insurers respond by cutting premiums, some quote 40% discount after 3 years.
And that's without counting the cost for the ‘down time' for your vehicle, and driver.
