CYCLE SAVVY
Vulnerable Road Users Awareness
Safe Urban Driving (SUD) Training contributes a full day towards Driver CPC and meets mandatory Work Related Road Risk requirements FORS Silver Level and CLOCS Standard accreditation.
With the growing number of cyclists commuting on our roads, it is vital that drivers understand the risks in urban environments.
SUD’s training is unique, taking driver CPC out of the classroom and onto the road - focusing on how to safely share busy roads with vulnerable road users and with a particular emphasis on hazards specific to cyclists.
The practical training module leaves a lasting impact on driver understanding as drivers get directly in the saddle to gain real world experience of the cyclist’s perspective.
