LDS - Loaders Driving School
Congratulations, now that you have passed your driving test, ask us about
Pass Plus
You could save up to 40% on your insurance costs now that you have passed
The Pass plus scheme was introduced by the Driving Standards Agency in connection with most of the UK
The course will be for a minimum of 1 hour per topic and will cover:-
• Town driving
• Motorways
• Country driving
• Dual carriageways
• All weather driving
• Night driving
When your instructor is happy you have reached the required level in each of the topics, you will receive a certificate from the DSA which you can use to receive your insurance discount.
The course not only helps with the cost of your insurance but will considerably help your driving confidence and skill, giving you tips and assistance that normally takes years to learn. In many cases the discount received off your insurance far out ways the cost of this course and in many cases insurers are asking for this type of scheme to have been completed before they will insure you.

Fleet Driver
Loaders Driving School provide company driver risk assessments & fleet driver training. This training will not only reduce risk of collisions involving your fleet drivers, but dramatically reduce costs like insurance, fuel and repair bills. Our modern fleet driver training techniques are a benefit to any business. Furthermore, in today's health & safety environment, we can assist companies in complying with all the revelvant regulations whilst reducing work related road risk.
Any vehicle which is driven by someone carrying out business on behalf of a company is regarded as a place of work and therefore subject to current legislation. This expressly includes the so-called "Grey fleet" of vehicles owed by the employee but used for company business. Some employers believe, incorrectly, that a valid drivers licence and MOT certificate is sufficient to ensure the safety of their employees and the general public. This could not be much further from the truth.
The cost to industry of work-related collisions is estimated to be £2.6 - £2.9billion per year. Industry estimates vary for the number of companies doing enough work on road risk management but it is pretty safe to say that less than 33% of companies have such a policy which puts the remaining 67% seriously at odds with the legislation.
Company Driver Assessments - In-vehicle
To help your company comply with new Health and Safety and Corporate Manslaughter legislation, we now offer company driver assessments. These assessments are designed for drivers of all types of company vehicle. These assessments can be done either in the vehicle the driver is accustomed to. If you have company car or van drivers who need assessing, please don't hesitate to contact us.
Benefits of our Fleet Driver Training Services Include…
- Reduced fleet costs - insurance, repairs, fuel etc
- Less days off work for drivers, missed orders, bad publicity
- Compliance with relevant legislation
There are plenty of reasons for employers to look at the operation of their fleet and company car drivers. For that reason, our fleet driver training programmes are based on the needs of the individual client. Our experienced fleet trainers, who are experts in the field of road safety, will offer the best advice possible to your company, whilst providing an extremely high standard of fleet driver training.
Fleet Driver Training can help:
- The drivers. The company. Road Safety. The community.
One in every three road crashes involve a vehicle being driven for work. That's 3 deaths EVERY DAY invoving company vehicles.
Work-related road accidents are the biggest cause of work-related accidental death. Between 800 and 1000 people are killed annually in work-related road traffic accidents compared to approximately 250 fatalities due to other accidents.
Company drivers who drive more than 80% of their annual mileage on work related journeys have more than 50% more injury accidents than similar drivers who do no work related mileage.
About 300 people are killed each year as a result of drivers falling asleep at the wheel. About 4 in 10 tiredness-related crashes involve someone driving a company vehicle.
Company driver assessments and fleet driver training can reduce the risk of collisions by up to 70%
Every single work related road collision can cost a company money in terms of repair, insurance, down time for vehicle and employee, bad publicity etc, etc.
The fleet driver training we offer depends greatly on the individual needs of the client. However, as a guide, we normally offer:
- Licence and eyesight test
- Pre-drive vehicle checks
- Occupational road risk presentation
- Initial driving assessment
- Highway code quiz
- On-road driver training and coaching
- Demonstration drive if appropriate
This can all be done on a 1:1, 2:1 or 3:1 basis and over a full or half day. Again that all depends on your requirements.The training we deliver is done on a bespoke basis. If the candidates have a history of speeding fines, we will design a speed awareness related training session. If they have a history of collisons, we can design a course with that in mind. Please contact us to discuss your requirements.
