    All our drivers (Training Advisors) are fully licensed.
    We are currently updating our vehicle induction in-house. A few topics are:
    -Learning about your vehicle
    In-car features and technology
    Safety features
    Seat adjustment/correct posture
    Use of Speed delimiter
    -Managing your vehicle
    Vehicle change over
    General use of vehicle
    Fuel cards
    Maintenance & repair
    Breakdown support
    -Managing your driving
    Safety driving handbook
    Planning your trips (parking, fatigue, etc.)
    GPS
    Driving expectations (speed, driver behaviour)
    Motor vehicle policy
    -Emergency
    Using the emergency alert button
    Lone worker
    Emergency response
    Reporting vehicle incidents

    We provide levels 1 & 2 defensive driving through NADS which is beneficial and compulsory for all staff with assigned vehicles. We trialed DT which was great, but found it difficult for staff to manage (timewise). We also trialed the Winter Driving Experience and did not get the feedback we were expecting and was decided not to use this as training.
