Human error is a factor in the majority of road crashes but using the DriveTech risk assessment tool – can help identify high-risk drivers who are in need of further training.
The assessment can be completed just 20 minutes from any location, 24 hours a day via the secure website. Assessment frequency can be tailored to meet your policies and the trigger for future assessments based on the outcome of the assessment.
The assessments cover five key areas: Driver History, Driver Anticipation, Driver Observation, Driver Behaviour and Driver Knowledge. Core techniques include multiple choice questions as well as short video clips that require drivers to assess hazards. Participants are also assessed on their general driving knowledge and Highway Code Awareness.
Every answer is scored and the results create individual risk profiles for each driver, with comprehensive management information.

Risk assessment also saves time and money by identifying the specific areas where training should be targeted, whilst also helping fleets comply with their Duty of Care responsibilities.
