Why It Matters

As a country we have one of the worst road tolls per capita in the world.  We are not good drivers.  While cars are becoming smarter, drivers need the skills to match. We can make a meaningful difference to ensuring drivers are given the tools and training to minimise chances of an accident.  

The Hampton Downs Drive Safe Advantage equips your team and individuals with the tools and training to minimise accident risks, making our roads safer for everyone.

Under the Health and Safety at Work Act 2015, employers are responsible for the safety of their staff including when they’re on the road in work vehicles. Staff who are confident, capable drivers are less likely to be involved in accidents, which means fewer disruptions, reduced repair and insurance costs, and most importantly - greater wellbeing for your team and others on the road.
