Behaviour Based Safety

Behaviour Based Safety

Students learn to participate defensively in traffic and understand the consequences of their own driving behavior for safety, the environment, and the organization they work for. They learn to consider (vulnerable) other road users and prevent damage and accidents in various traffic conditions. Furthermore, to maintain their professional competence, professional drivers are required, according to the European Directive on Professional Competence 2003/59, to complete 35 hours of continuing education over a five-year period.

The course is suitable for all professional drivers with driving licence (E for) C and D to whom the Professional Competence Directive applies.
