How often do you remind your drivers of the danger of driving in convoys? 🚛🚛 We know it’s common for drivers to find themselves in convoys. However, whilst they feel it’s more sociable to drive together - convoy driving is full of danger for them, the other drivers in the convoy, additional road users and potentially pedestrians and cyclists. Not only are drivers breaking the law due to not having sufficient stopping distance between them and the vehicle in front (Highway Code Rule 126). It displays the behaviour of drivers that tailgate. When drivers tailgate two unsafe factors occur 👇🏼 1. They cannot see what’s ahead of them, other than the vehicle in front. 2. Their ability to stop without hitting anything, such as the vehicle in front is significantly reduced. ⚠️ Not only does it put them and additional road users at risk, driving this way also can carry penalties and fines.

Did you know that, according to the Ebbinghaus Forgetting Curve, we forget approximately 70% of new information within 24 hours if we don't back it up somehow. This poses a major challenge in driver training, where retaining crucial safety and compliance information is vital. We’ve applied this research to the design of our Professional Development Plan and Toolbox Talks. Here’s how we tackle the forgetting curve: ✔️ Bite-sized Learning - Our Toolbox Talks deliver information in small, manageable chunks, making it easier for drivers to absorb and retain key concepts ✔️ Regular Reinforcement - Each month, drivers receive new content that reinforces previously learned material, keeping essential knowledge fresh in their minds ✔️ Interactive Quizzes - Engaging quizzes at the end of each session test knowledge and reinforce learning, increasing the likelihood that drivers will remember what they’ve learned ✔️ Certificates of Completion - Earning a certificate provides a sense of accomplishment and serves as a motivational tool to revisit and apply learned concepts By leveraging the principles of the Ebbinghaus Forgetting Curve, our Professional Development Plan ensures that your drivers are not only educated but also retain critical information for the long term.
