"The training and education of drivers is an essential part of companies' duty of care," said Dr Tom Fisher, senior research and communications officer at Brake. "By making sure that drivers have the necessary skills, and providing education to improve their attitude and behaviour, companies can have a large impact on road safety - and their bottom line."
"Having a holistic approach to educating, raising awareness and training drivers has the greatest sustained impact," Fisher added.
