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.

    Thanks to Corey for all your help and guidance throughout my driving lessons. Your patience, teaching, and advice were invaluable and made a significant difference in my learning experience. I was completely hesitant to even learn to drive, but your calm and encouraging approach ensured the whole process was a joy.

    Huge thanks to Advance Drive, and especially to my instructor Martin, for guiding me through the C licence rigid course. Martin’s calm, professional approach and deep knowledge made a huge difference in my learning. He helped me realise that driving a rigid truck isn’t just about handling a larger vehicle—it’s about staying sharp, responsible, and always thinking ahead. I’m now a far more confident and competent driver thanks to his support.

Wherever you live, I highly recommend you to take lessons with him. Thank you so much!

I've learned a lot, made new friends and had great craic in 2024 thanks to Advance - and not forgetting Patricia and all at GRETB. Everyone involved was professional and courteous but more importantly, very helpful and supportive. The instructors all had great patience and skill - and above all, a sense of humour (and they certainly needed that at times!). And the back-room team were always a pleasure to deal with - very efficient. Phillip and Ailbhe, ye have a great team there - keep doing what ye're doing. And put me on the waiting list for next year's Sikorsky 101 course - although I'm dreading the hill-start!

    After failing the test twice, I changed companies. I passed today with a clean sheet after lessons with Dezzie. He quickly helped me get rid of any bad habits and made sure I was confident myself before doing the test. I would recommend Dezzie to anyone who is applying for their test.
