Advanced Evasive & Defensive Driving Skills

Evasive and Defensive Driving (EDD) course provides a wide range of advanced driving skills, delivered
effectively and safely by highly experienced former police and military instructors. In a number of fast
moving and challenging scenarios and conditions, we teach our students how to recognize and respond to risk and threat, and provide tactical skills and techniques to help mitigate potential attack, ambush and hijack. As an employer, these enhanced driving skills will help to:
 Lower company insurance costs.
 Reduce fuel and vehicle maintenance costs (as a result of smoother vehicle control).
 Increase the safety of your employees by reducing the likelihood of them being involved in road traffic
accidents.
 Reduce the likelihood of third party claims being made against your company.
In addition, this course will help to ensure corporate legal and social responsibilities are fulfilled, together with
broader Health and Safety requirements.
