Very patronising

Extra feedback to go with my previous feedback: The pass "mark" shouldn't be 85% if there are 10 questions. Also, as the course is to do with driving for work, it might be worth mentioning time of driving - if you can, avoid peak hours/rush hour, and if multiple people are travelling, consider sharing the driving (especially if it's a long journey). Last place I worked at insisted that the person who "signed out" the pool car drove it, which was stupid if there was a lot of driving needed.

Distances should be in metres. No clue what the stopping distances are in feet. Learnt them all in metres when I did my test over 23 years ago. Needs more information on roadcraft (info phase is useful, scanning far, medium, near, rear for observations, taking/giving/using information etc) and a bigger emphasis on stopping/safety distances. Would appreciate checking blindspots especially when switching lanes in traffic (watch out for filtering motorcycles). Checks can be both a bit more in-depth and simpler (i.e. it takes a few seconds to check tyres vs wear blocks for legal tread depth, but you probably wouldn't check pressures every day), "ground" or "floor" is a great check - if there are no fluids under the car then they're probably all still in it. "Controls" is motorbike specific. But Person/Guy/Gal is a great check - what about you? Are you ok (no alcohol, not tired, you know where you're going, not rushed etc).

In the section 'FLOWER', checking water levels prior to a long journey. Caution should be given about checking radiator water level which may be very hot and pressurised (from earlier shorter journeys obviously, not from a cold start). I know people that have had bad facial burns taking radiator caps off.

Regular refreshers of driver awareness is worthy exercise. Its easy to get complacent & not keep up with the country code changes. Thanks for the course content, very useful.

Needs to be more visual impact of the potential outcomes of a crash caused by driving tired, lack of due care and attention, not checking the vehicle safety, and the implications for safety, risk to the company, loss of employment, loss of life etc. Needs visual examples of crashes caused by the items listed in the training.The training is OK and covers some very soft basics though little if no impact that will lead towards a change in safety or behavior, as it is extremely soft in delivery.Also says near the end that 'you are already an experienced driver' so I presume this is only meant for experienced drivers and not young drivers? what does experienced mean in this context exactly?In summary, this course was a waste of time for me personally, hope this feedback helps.

Only issue is I live in the USA so not everything translates. Each state in the USA has it’s own rules. It was good awareness on most things.

This was an interesting course with one or two new pieces of information. However, the feeling was that it was quite basic. An experienced driver would probably pass the test without doing the course. Of course, it is true that we see people every day who clearly do not know the basics but a conscientious driver would know most of this.
