Real-World Safety: Accidents, Bridge Strikes and Vulnerable Road Users

Driver CPC courses don’t exactly top the list of things drivers look forward to. But this one’s different. It’s built by drivers, for drivers — and delivered live online by experienced, DVSA-approved instructors who keep it practical, relevant, and genuinely useful.

Our Accident Awareness, Bridge Strike Prevention & Vulnerable Road Users (VRUs) module focuses on the safety risks drivers actually face day-to-day — not box-ticking theory or recycled slides.

What This 7 Hour Driver CPC Course Covers

Why road accidents really happen — and how to reduce risk through better awareness and decision-making
The effects of fatigue, distraction, and substance use on driving performance and safety
Bridge strike prevention — route planning, height awareness, and common causes of incidents
Your responsibilities around Vulnerable Road Users (VRUs), including pedestrians, cyclists, and motorcyclists
Practical driving habits that improve hazard perception, anticipation, and defensive driving

The goal is simple: reduce risk, avoid serious consequences, and make safer decisions in real driving conditions.

Who Should Attend?

HGV (LGV) and PCV drivers completing periodic Driver CPC training
Drivers who want to reduce accident risk and stay compliant
Drivers who want practical, real-world safety training — not generic theory
New and experienced drivers — no prior safety training assumed

What You’ll Walk Away With

A clearer understanding of the behaviours that lead to collisions and incidents
Practical strategies to reduce accident risk and improve defensive driving
Better planning and awareness to help prevent bridge strikes
Stronger VRU awareness with safer road positioning and observation habits
7 hours uploaded to DVSA with certificate issued after completion

Come in sceptical. Leave with something you can actually use on the road.
