What is SAFED?

SAFED is a complementary driver development course, consisting of assessment and training. It intends to improve the safe and fuel efficient driving skills of LCV drivers. It therefore should complement a much broader programme of commercial vehicle fleet efficiency management.

Why have van training?

During 2003 UK Light Commercial Vehicle (LCV) activity accounted for some 58 billion kilometres (Department for Transport statistics). Over 90% of this distance was in connection with collection and delivery of goods, travel between home and workplace or journeys between jobs and hence LCVs play an important role in the countries economy.

Safer driving means:

	Less injuries and fatalities on our roads
	Less accident damage to vehicles
	Less unproductive downtime for vehicle repair
	The potential for reduced insurance premiums
