Get a grip with
NDAC!
The recent wintry weather has resulted in treacherous driving conditions
across
the
country.
Insurance
claims
statistics
show that
motorists are
nearly twice
as likely to
have an accident in
January
compared
to the rest of
the year and the
18th
of January is
the worst day
overall for car accidents. In addition, employers see a higher
rate of
absenteeism and
lateness due to
weather-related
motoring issues
- over 58% of
employees admit
they have been
late for work at
least twice a week. Workplace
car parks are transformed into
skating rinks
and the risk of
collisions
increase
as drivers
rarely know what
to do in the
event that they
lose grip.
So –
what’s the
solution?
Better trained
company
car drivers would help reduce the risks associated
with driving in
icy/wet conditions and reduce
the associated costs e.g. increased
insurance
premiums, damage
repair, third
party
claims,
staff downtime,
etc.
Such
training also
helps
companies comply with their duty of care
to employees
under Health &
Safety
legislation.
NDAC Ltd is a
driver training
company
that offers a
wide range of
training services
from on-road
training to 4x4
training to skid
control
training.
Using specially
adapted
cars
fitted to a
hydraulic frame, drivers are taught how to recognise the first sign of a
car
about to lose
grip and then
the steering and
braking techniques
necessary
to regain control of a skidding car.
The benefits are
clear
– reducing car accidents,
reducing
the associated financial
costs and meeting legal requirements.
While we take
the teaching
of these skills
very seriously
we finish the
training with a
“fun”, timed,
slalom which
tests the
trainee’s skills
and award
trophies to the
driver most in
control.
