The one-day workshops are delivered by top trainers with transport qualifications and experience at risk management.

The Pledge2DriveSafely workshops train those with company driver experience to deliver powerful Pledge2DriveSafely messages and campaigns to people who drive to work.

Pledge2DriveSafely aims to create better driver awareness by asking drivers to make a number of safety-critical pledges:
• Sober Up
• Wake Up
• Buck Up
• Belt Up
• Check Up
• Belt Up
• Shut Up
• Slow Down

As part of the workshop, participants will learn the extent of deaths caused by driver tiredness, drink driving, speeding, overtaking and many other key road safety topics relevant to fleet drivers as well as how to deliver powerful presentations on road safety.

Once completed, attendees will receive access to a special interactive Pledge2DriveSafely website for use in the workplace, including hard-hitting videos and a free guide to training drivers quickly and effectively in the Pledge to Drive Safely. They will also receive access to key Pledge2DriveSafely resources through, an interactive website developed by Brake. This site contains a range of resources and e-learning tools to help deliver road safety messages to company drivers.
