Vulnerability of Road Users training course
Cut collisions. Cut costs. Protect people.
Evidence‑led driver course developed in conjunction with RoSPA- The Royal Society for the Prevention of Accidents to give commercial fleets the skills to reduce crashes with cyclists and pedestrians.
Why this matters to your fleet
Fewer claims, less downtime — trained drivers make better decisions; fewer incidents mean lower premiums and vehicles back on the road.
Client and contract ready — aligns with FORS and CLOCS expectations and supports Driver CPC hours.
Proven focus on the real risk — practical blind‑spot work, empathy building and scenario practice that changes behavior.
What drivers learn (fast, practical, memorable)
Blind‑spot mastery — how HGVs and buses create danger and how to eliminate it.
Cyclist perspective — see the road from a cyclist’s eyes and learn safer overtakes and lane positioning.
Observation and attention — saccades, motion camouflage and attention blindness explained with interactive exercises.
Defensive reactions — manage risk, not be managed by it.
From the course slides: “Large vehicles turning left present one of the biggest dangers to cyclists due to blind spots. HGVs 5% of traffic but 20% of cycling fatalities.”
Formats and timing
Half‑day workshop (3.5 hrs) — classroom + practical exercises; ideal for refresher training.
Full day (7 hrs) — classroom, practical exercises, perfect for accreditation and Driver CPC.
