ECO Driving course

With ever-increasing fuel prices, now is the time to put an end to mentally-demanding, dangerous and fuel-guzzling stop/start driving! By fundamentally improving driving techniques this course aims to save you at least 10% off your fuel bill, and equip you with the skills to drive more safely.

The course uses the same principles as the RoSPA SAFED course and applies them to company cars.

Course content includes:

• Enhanced hazard perception and awareness skills
• Selective use of gears
• Progressive use of accelerator
• Compliance with speed limits
• Utilisation of engine braking/torque
• Use of cruise control

What are the benefits?

• Increased fuel economy - better for your business and the environment
• No increase in journey length
• Reduction in gear use so clutches and gearboxes should last longer
• Emphasis on awareness and forward-planning leads to lowered stress levels and reduced driver fatigue
• Reduced brake and tyre wear as a result of less stop/start driving
