Driving for Work

Advance Drive consult with clients on the importance of their ‘Driving for Work Policies’ and working closely with them on the risks that may arise and to ensure that relevant systems are in place to be compliant with road safety. Driving for work policies affect not only professional drivers, employees and their employers but also pedestrians, cyclists and other vulnerable road users.

Where vehicles are provided for work whether it be a company car or fleet van, jeep, truck or bus the employer has a responsibility to ensure the safety of their employees in that vehicle. It is best practice and the law for employers to have appropriate policies and procedures in place to ensure sufficient safety measures are in place for employees driving a work-provided vehicle or driving their own vehicle for work.
Some examples of jobs that include driving for work are:

– HGV/LGV Drivers
– Bus Drivers
– Emergency Services
– Law Enforcement / Local Authority
– Service Engineers
– Sales and Marketing Personnel
– Couriers and Delivery Drivers
– Social and Health Workers
– Taxi Drivers

A report from 2007 from the Road Safety Authority and Health Safety Authority found that the number of work related deaths from road collision was double that from other causes and that people who drive a company car have 30% – 40% more collisions than other road users.

If you have any questions about Driving for Work or require some assistance please call 091 524689 to schedule a consultation or email info@advancedrive.com.

    (17/04/14) Looked at a number of other driving schools before choosing Advance Drive. I'm glad I went with my 'gut instinct' & chose this one. Philip did a great job of teaching me. I felt relaxed with him & learnt something at every lesson. He's patient, very astute (misses nothing!) a good communicator and great instructor. Managed to pass my driving test first time. I'm 'over the moon!' I would certainly recommend Advance Drive to anyone in the process of choosing a driving school. Thanks to Philip, Ailbhe & all at Advance Drive.

    I did my D licence with Advance Drive before Christmas. Dessie was my instructor and I found him to be very experienced, patient and professional. Dessie subtly gets the point across of the mistakes that you are making without making you feel bad about it. He recommended that I do 2 extra lessons, the benefit of which was very noticeable and I may not have passed first time without them. Many thanks to Dessie and all at Advance Drive.

    From my initial contact to passing my test I could not have been happier with the high level of service I received. Aoife and all the staff working in their Ballybane Office were approachable, informative and very knowledgeable about all aspects of Driving / Driving Tests and timescales involved. Dezzie was my Driving Instructor and he displayed all of the aforementioned traits and more. He is also very good at catering for each persons desired method of learning as well as simply being “sound as a pound”. I have nothing but the highest regard for all the staff at Advance Drive and can confidently recommend them to anyone looking to get any kind of Driving Licence. Go raibh míle maith agaibh agus bí sabháilte, Peadar 🤙☘️

Phillip and Mike are both very patient and encouraging during the learning process. During each pre-test lesson they re-assured me and gave me ways to deal with the test nerves. This patience,professionality and excellent prices, added to their felxibility in scheduling lessons make them my first choice for any more tests. well done lads

    I had Martin for my Rigid Truck lessons. He was calm and explained everything in a easy to understand manner. Some bad habits I had brought from driving were quickly pinpointed and fixed with some advice. He put me at ease from lesson 1 and his feedback after lessons was a great help. Thanks Martin and all at advance for your help.

    Just passed my C licence Rigid truck under Dezzie's tuition this morning. Excellent school and only the best teachers around! Patience and outstanding communication from the instructor with superior knowledge of not only what he was teaching but of what I was going to do next. He s always 5 steps ahead to ensure everything was done correctly. Id recommend Advance Drive to all without question. Looking forward to doing my D licence already!!!!

    Couldn't have asked for a better driving experience. A huge thank you to you all at Advance Drive - everything was so professional and helpful, they were always quick to respond and accommodate (especially with COVID and post-lockdown), and were all so pleasant to deal with! Noel was amazing as well - such a good and patient instructor and a great person!

    Passed my Rigid test on my first attempt, all thanks to the team at Advance Drive and especially my instructor Lee. Can't thank them all enough! They are a fantastic service and I would highly recommend them to anyone wanting to learn to drive any category vehicle.
