Safe driving of priority vehicles

Priority Vehicles

During interventions, your priority vehicle drivers may deviate from the normal road traffic rules under certain conditions. This makes it more difficult for other drivers to predict their driving behaviour. Controlled, defensive driving with greater awareness is the only way to avoid related accidents.

Driving with a siren and flashing light helps drivers of ambulances, police cars, fire engines and other priority vehicles perform urgent tasks. It is part of the legal framework intended to enable emergency services to arrive quickly and efficiently at the scene of an emergency. These journeys are not without risk.  The professional Vehicle Safety for Priority Vehicles course is specifically designed to improve the driving attitude and skills of professional drivers of emergency vehicles.

Flashing lights and sirens do not make you invulnerable! Protect your employees and prioritise the professional training course on Vehicle Safety for Priority Vehicles.

The training course on driving priority vehicles safely and with greater awareness is based on the legal framework for priority journeys. The exceptions and priority rules it provides for require your drivers to adapt their driving behaviour. During the theory sessions, we work on raising awareness, appropriate driving behaviour and the technical knowledge for safe driving. Skid and brake control, vehicle control and the specific skills required to drive priority vehicles are covered during practical training at the JESCO training site specially designed for this purpose. At the end of the intensive Vehicle Safety for Priority Vehicles training day, we will take your employees out on the public road for a Commentary Drive, so that everyone can assess their driving proficiency and whether there are any areas for improvement.

Driving intelligently and with greater awareness when making priority journeys is vital for your drivers and also for all other road users. Call us on 03/866.16.66 or request your customised quotation now. Thanks to the SME portfolio, SMEs may be eligible for a grant of up to 30%.
