Free upgrade for safety qualification
Last updated 13:35, Saturday, 19 April 2008
DRIVERS who pass RoSPA’s prestigious advanced driving test for ‘at-work’ motorists can now upgrade their safety qualification for free.
They can apply to have it recognised at BTEC Level Three, which is equivalent to an A-level.
RoADTest is typically three days’ training followed by a theory test, practical driving test and hazard perception assessment.
The programme, which can be spread over three years, covers key issues related to occupational road risk, including drink and drugs, mobile phones, speed, fatigue, and posture – seat support and head restraints.
Simon Protano, head of RoSPA Driver and Fleet Solutions, said: “RoADTest sets the benchmark standard for ‘at-work’ driving, and takes into consideration the realities faced by those who use the road for work purposes, which can include driving thousands of miles each year under deadline pressures and in unfamiliar vehicles.”
